This is called an inequality
\n" ); document.write( "It says that the left side is less than the right side
\n" ); document.write( "Get $\"+x+\"$ on one side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%283x-8%29%2B2x%3C16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+12x+-+32+%2B+2x+%3C+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+14x+-+32+%3C+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"+32+\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+14x+%3C+48+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%3C+24%2F7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "I'll check with a calculator
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+24%2F7+=+3.4286+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I'll make $\"+x+=+3.428+\"$ to make the inequality true
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%283x-8%29%2B2x%3C16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%283%2A3.428-8%29%2B2%2A3.428+%3C+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2A%28+10.284+-+8+%29+%2B+6.856+%3C+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2A2.284+%2B+6.856+%3C+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9.136+%2B+6.856+%3C+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15.992+%3C+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is true, if I didn't miscalculate \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
