Choice A is the correct answer. Work with decimals or multiply to clear them.

1. Distribute: $0.4x + 4 < 0.2x + 6$
2. Subtract 0.2x: $0.2x + 4 < 6$
3. Subtract 4: $0.2x < 2$
4. Divide by 0.2: $x < 10$

?�� Strategic Tip:$0.4 \times 10 = 4$. Check your decimal multiplication.

Choice B is incorrect because it reverses the inequality direction. Choice C is incorrect because it might result from dividing 4 by 0.2 incorrectly. Choice D is incorrect because it combines wrong value and wrong direction.
