Question

solve the inequality for x.
\\(\frac{x}{2} + 3 < 1\\)
simplify your answer as much as possible.

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 3 from both sides

$\frac{x}{2} + 3 - 3 < 1 - 3$
$\frac{x}{2} < -2$

Step2: Multiply both sides by 2

$\frac{x}{2} \times 2 < -2 \times 2$
$x < -4$

Answer:

$x < -4$
