Question

needs help solving inequalities please!

Answer 1

write your inequality

Answer 2

\[x/2-1/4lex/4+1\]

Answer 3

the slash lines are fractions, FYI:)

Answer 4

so I subtracted 1/4 and came out with x/2< x/4+5/4

Answer 5

what is 1/4lex means?

Answer 6

NOW, I am subtracting x/4 from both sides...leaving me with x/2-x/4<5/4

Answer 7

that was suppose to be the less or equal to sign <

Answer 8

not sure where to go from there. it says to simplify, leaving me with x/4,5/4, but not sure what happened with that x/2...

Answer 9

ok. you can use: <= or >=
as well... everybody will understand

Answer 10

if I understand ...
x/2 -1/4 <= x/4 +1
put x on one side & numbers on another:
x/2 - x/4 <=1+1/4
2x/4 -x/4 <=4/4 +1/4

Answer 11

x/4 <=5/4
multiply both sides by 4 (it's positive number, so there is no change in sign of inequality):
x<=5

Answer 12

are you ok with this?
