2(4 - 5x)/(3) - 1 > 2(5x - 6)/(2) + 1
The answer I got is : 4/5 > x
Is this correct ?
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
lol...Im here :)
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
I can show you how I arrived at this answer if you want me to
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
You are correct, although it's more common to leave the solution as x < 4/5.
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
ok...
(8 - 10x)/(3) -1 > (10x - 12)/(3) + 1--I distributed
I then multiplied by 6
2(8 - 10x) - 6 > 3(10x - 12) + 6
16 - 20x - 6 > 30x - 36 + 6 -- I distributed again
-20x + 10 > 30x - 30
10 + 30 > 30x + 20x
40 > 50x
40/50 > x
4/5 > x

does that look correct ?
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Yes, it's correct.
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
I should put it like this : x < 4/5 ??
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Your work is correct.
I would have finished it like this:
-20x + 10 > 30x - 30
-50x > -40
x < 4/5
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Yes, put it like that with x on the left side.
