Question 225211: solve using the addition and multiplication principles
x%2F2%2B6%3C=10

x%2F2%2B6%3C=10
First thing is to move the 6 over by subtracting it from both sides:
x%2F2%2B6-6%3C=10-6
x%2F2%3C=4
To get rid of the 2, we have to multiply both sides by 2:
2%2A%28x%2F2%29%3C=4%2A2
x%3C=8, which is our answer.
