Follow the full solution, then compare it with the other examples linked below.

Example 3

easy
Solve x−4<10x - 4 < 10.

Solution

  1. 1
    Add 4 to both sides: x<14x < 14.
  2. 2
    The solution is all real numbers less than 14.

Answer

x<14x < 14
Solving a simple inequality works like solving an equation—apply inverse operations to both sides. No sign reversal is needed when adding or subtracting.

About Inequalities

Mathematical statements that compare two expressions using symbols like <<, >>, ≤\leq, or ≥\geq, indicating that one quantity is less than, greater than, or not equal to another. Unlike equations, inequalities describe a range of possible solutions.
