Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the inequality 2x - 8 < 12,
[tex]2x - 8 < 12,\\2x < 20,\\x < 10\\\\Conclusion - Option C[/tex]
As you can tell, for the first step we added 8 on either side of the inequality sign, resulting with the cancelation of 8, and the addition of 8 and 20. Dividing 2 on either side of this simplified inequality, we resulted in x < 10. Note that if we were to divide by a negative value, this less than sign would be taken as a greater than sign ( same rule applies for the multiplication of a negative number ).
Solution ⇒ Option C
