Question

How do you solve the inequality `8-k/2< -12`?

Answer 1

`k>40`

Explanation:

Solve for `k` as if this were a typical equation.

`8-k/2<-12`

Subtract `8` from both sides.

`-k/2<-20`

Multiply both sides by `-2`. BE CAREFUL! When multiplying or dividing by a negative number in an inequality, FLIP THE DIRECTION of the less than/greater than sign.

`kcolor(red)(>)40`
