In thiisss rigghh nw! p. what would be your first step in solving x + 12 < 40? a. subtract 12 from both sides b. add 12 to both sides c. flip your inequality sign d. divide by 12 on both sides

A. subtract 12 from both sides because that is the one step solution and gets x isolated

The first step in solving x +12 < 40 is A. subtract 12 from both sides.
To solve this equation, you first have to isolate the variable, x. To do this, you must subtract 12 from both of the equation. The solution will ultimately be x < 28.

Hope this helps! :)

Number 40 is a rational number glad i could
