Given the equation:

8g - 6(g + 1) < 4 ( 2g - 9 )

Solve the inequality.

Solution:

In order to solve the inequality, we simply needed to distribute 4 and -6 to their corresponding parenthesis.

8g - 6(g + 1) < 4 ( 2g - 9 )

8g - 6g + 6 < 8g - 36

2g + 6 < 8g - 36

Transpose -36 and 2g to the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

6 + 36 < 8g - 2g

42 < 6g

Divide both sides of the equation by 6 in order to determine the value of g.

42/6 < 6g/6

7 < g

Final answer:

7 < g
