Question

4/5(2x-1)>12

Answer 1

Are you solving for x?

Answer 2

Excuse me, is it (4/5)*(2x-1)>12 or 4/[5(2x-1)]>12? could you make that clearer

Answer 3

if it is (4/5)*(2x-1)>12 then x>8; if it is 4/[5(2x-1)]>12 then x>(4/5)

Answer 4

Yes, solving for x, and the first of the options is what it is supposed to be. :Thank you. :)

Answer 5

It told me the answer was incorrect. :( Here is a similar equation, with as far as I can get on my own:
2/3(3x-6)>12
6/3x-12/3>12
12(6/3x-12/3)>12(12)
(72/3)x-(144/3)>144
I can not seem to get to the answer from here. I'm sure it's probably easy, but I need it explained in simple terms.

Answer 6

2/3(3x-6)>12
3x-6>18
3x>24
x>8

Answer 7

Also needing assistance with compound inequalities. Will be posting one soon. I don't just want an answer. I want someone to teach me (simply) how to solve them, step-by-step. Note: The compound inequalities have some odd fractions, so I may have to explain them differently.

Answer 8

Dhat: Where did the 2/3 go?

Answer 9

I multiplied by 3/2 on both sides.

Answer 10

OK, I see. Thank you. :)

Answer 11

you are welcome

Answer 12

Would you like me to post the compund inequality here, or as a new question?
