Answer 1

To find the cost of each journal, we can set up the inequality:

4x + 12 < 36

Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get:

4x < 24

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x < 6

Therefore, the solution set for x is "x is less than 6 dollars". However, since the question is asking for the cost of each journal, we can say that x should be less than $6. So the correct answer is: x <$6.
