Solve for x: -4x - 12 < 12

Seems like you are an imposter ;). This is Middle School math.

Anyways...

x>6

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x-12<12

Add 12 on both sides.

-4x<24

Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x. Remember that if you are dividing by a negative, flip the sign!

x>6

Hope this helps!

The questioner wants us to list all possible roots by applying the Rational Roots theorem

factors of constant term (-20) = +/- 1, +/-2, +/-5, +/-10, +/-20 WE call these factors p.

factors of leading coefficient (2) = +/- 1, +/-2 (call these q)

then possible roots are p/q = +/-1/1, +/- 1/2 , +/- 5/1 , +/- 5/2 and so on.
