Math Problem Statement
Solve the inequality: -8 > 11 + x and find the value for x.
Solution
Let's solve the inequality step by step. The given inequality is:
Step 1: Isolate the variable
Subtract 11 from both sides to move the constant to the left side:
This simplifies to:
Step 2: Rewrite the inequality
We can rewrite this as:
Thus, the number that belongs in the green box is -19.
