Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

7a + 42 + 8 < -10 + 9a - 6 + 4a

Step 2: Solve for a

  1. Combine like terms (a):                                                                                    7a + 42 + 8 < -10 + 13a - 6
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                         7a + 50 < 13a - 16
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 7a on both sides:                      50 < 6a - 16
  4. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 16 on both sides:                                   66 < 6a
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 6 on both sides:                                  11 < a
  6. Rewrite:                                                                                                             a > 11

Here we see that any value a greater than 11 would work as a solution to the inequality.
