Solve this inequality j/4 - 8 < 4

J/4 - 8 < 4

+ 8 + 8 * add 8 to both sides to cancel - 8.

j/4 < 12

*4/1 * 4/1 * multiply 4/1 to both sides to cancel 1/4

j < 48

j should be less than 48 to make the inequality true.

example: j = 47

j/4 - 8 < 4

47/4 - 8 < 4

11.75 - 8 < 4

3.75 < 4

Any number below 48 will end up with an answer less than 4. if j is 48 and above, the inequality is false because the answer arrived at will be equal to or greater than 4.
