3/4(3x-1/2)-1/3<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me one minute let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4(3x –1/2 )2/3 – <1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still a typo i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I apologize for taking so long my daughter woke up vomiting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yikes take our time!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's fine I 'm finish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it says 3over 4( 3x - 1over 2)minus 2over 3 < 1 over 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can understand that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{3}{4}(3x-\frac{1}{2})-\frac{2}{3}<\frac{1}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes u got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

clear the annoying fractions by multiplying both sides by 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get it to show like that. I tried

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9(3x-\frac{1}{2})-8<4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 8 to both sides \[9(3x-\frac{1}{2})<12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide both sides by 9 \[3x-\frac{1}{2}<\frac{4}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u add 8 how did u still have 9(3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add one half \[3x<\frac{11}{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide by 3 get \[x<\frac{11}{12}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added 8 which was out side of the parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so do whats on the outside first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was always told to do inside first PEMDAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could have multiplied out first and then collected terms. i found this way easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pemdas is for evaluating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay this is how I keep getting stuck then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only reason this is so annoying is because of the fractions. if it was whole numbers it would be easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you want we can redo this whole thing multiplying out first. but then it will we really annoying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah and i have a test coming up with these on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i will study it like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much I am trying to do this home work and these problems just have me stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't forget to clear fractions which will make life easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how did you know to use 12 to clear it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it because of the 3 and the 4 as the donominator
