-4+ 12/8 < 2

Answer 1

To solve this inequality, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).

First, we simplify the expression on the right side of the inequality:

12/8 = 1.5

Now we can rewrite the inequality as:

-4 + 1.5 < 2

Next, we combine the terms on the left side of the inequality:

-2.5 < 2

Since -2.5 is indeed less than 2, the inequality is true.

Therefore, -4 + 12/8 < 2 is a true statement.
