Eight less than four times a number is less then 56. What are the possible values of that number?

Answer: B. X<12
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find out what number multipled by 4 is less than 56
4 x 12 = 48
56-48 = 8
And 4 is lower/less than 12 so that's why it's B
Answer:
x < 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.
Firstly, we should convert the question into a numerical function in order to visualize it better. Therefore, the function would look like so,
[tex]4x-8 < 56[/tex]
Even though this is an inequality expression we can solve it like any Algebraic Expression. That being the case lets solve for x by getting x alone on one side.
[tex]4x-8 < 56[/tex] .... add 8 on both sides
[tex]4x < 64[/tex] ... divide both sides by 4
[tex]x < 16[/tex]
Finally, we can see that the answer is x < 16
