Answer:
t < 2.24
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to t, solve for t using inverse operations.
12t - 2 < -5t + 36
17t - 2 < 36
17t < 38
t < 2.24
Answer: t< 17/38
Step-by-step explanation:
\begin{aligned}12t-2 & < -5t + 36 \\\\ 12t&< -5t+38 &(\text{Add } 2 \text{ to both sides}) \\\\ 17t &< 38 &(\text{Add } 5t \text{ to both sides})\\\\ t&<\dfrac{38}{17}&(\text{Divide both sides by }17) \end{aligned}
12t−2
12t
17t
t
<−5t+36
<−5t+38
<38
<
17
38
(Add 2 to both sides)
(Add 5t to both sides)
(Divide both sides by 17)
