The correct first step would be to add 6 to both sides of the inequality: x−6 < x+4.
The correct solution would be: x < 10.
Solving the inequality for x, which statement shows a good first step and which is the correct solution?
x−6<x4

Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6
