Q: What is the solution for the inequality 4 - x < 2?
Solution: 4 - x < 2 => -x < -2 => x > 2.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Start with the inequality: 4 - x < 2.
Step 2: To isolate -x, subtract 4 from both sides: 4 - x - 4 < 2 - 4.
Step 3: This simplifies to: -x < -2.
Step 4: To solve for x, multiply both sides by -1. Remember, when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign: -x * -1 > -2 * -1.
