A inequation with variable

The solution

You have entered [src]
x - 16 < -1
$$x - 16 < -1$$
x - 16 < -1
Detail solution
Given the inequality:
$$x - 16 < -1$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$x - 16 = -1$$
Solve:
Given the linear equation:
x-16 = -1

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$x = 15$$
$$x_{1} = 15$$
$$x_{1} = 15$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = 15$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10} + 15$$
=
$$\frac{149}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$x - 16 < -1$$
$$-16 + \frac{149}{10} < -1$$

the solution of our inequality is:
$$x < 15$$
