Question

Can you please help me solve
-2/3(x-4)>5/6(x+1)

Answer 1

I plugged it into Maple, I got\[x <\frac{11}{9}\]

If you plug that in for x it works so the solution is correct.
I'm having a little trouble working through the algebra on it, but if you need the steps I'll keep plugging away at it til I figure it out.

Answer 2

Chriss OP probably meant this :

$$\frac{-2}{3 (x - 4)} > \frac{5}{6 (x + 1)} $$

Answer 3

which implies $$ x<-1\left\|\frac{16}{9}<x<4\right.$$

Answer 4

\[-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{8}{3}>\frac{5}{6}x+\frac{5}{6}\]
\[-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{16}{6}>\frac{5}{6}x+\frac{5}{6}\]
\[-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{6}>\frac{5}{6}x\]
\[\frac{11}{6}>\frac{9}{6}x\]
\[\frac{11}{6}*\frac{6}{9}=x\]
\[\frac{66}{54}=\frac{11}{9}=x\]

Answer 5

@Fool that may be. I see how it could be read either way.

In the event that my interpretation of the way it is written is correct though, there is the solution.
