Solve the following inequality.

Question

12x + 40 < 304
*
1 point
x = 18
x < 22
x > 24
x = 25.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 12x + 40 < 304 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 40 from both sides: \[ 12x + 40 - 40 < 304 - 40 \] \[ 12x < 264 \]

2. Divide both sides by 12: \[ x < \frac{264}{12} \] \[ x < 22 \]

So, the solution to the inequality \( 12x + 40 < 304 \) is \( x < 22 \).

Among the options given, the correct answer is:

• x < 22.
