2(8x-4)-2x < 4x+12

the sign is supposed to be less than or equal to

x < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

2 (8x - 4) - 2x < 4x + 12

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

16x - 8 - 2x < 4x + 12

Combine like terms

(16x - 2x) - 8 < 4x + 12

14x - 8 < 4x + 12

Add 8 on both sides

14x - 8 + 8 < 4x + 12 + 8

14x < 4x + 20

Subtract 4x on both sides

14x - 4x < 4x + 20 - 4x

10x < 20

Divide 10 on both sides

10x / 10 < 20

Hope this helps!! :)

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
