Question 485546: I need to solve this problem and the show the set builder notations.
This is what I've done so far:
x -4 < 1/8
x + 4 < 1/8 + 4
What am I doing wrong?
Answer by John10(297) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Yes! when you add 4 for both sides, the left side leaves only x. So
x < 1/8 + 4
x < 33/8
S = {x| x < 33/8}
