Solve 2(4x+2)<30

$$2 ( 4 x + 2 ) < 30$$

Solve for x

$$x<\frac{13}{4}$$

Solution Steps

Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$4x+2<\frac{30}{2}$$

Divide 30 by 2 to get 15.

$$4x+2<15$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$4x<15-2$$

Subtract 2 from 15 to get 13.

$$4x<13$$

Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$x<\frac{13}{4}$$
