Question

Which of these is equivalent to 3x - 8 > 4?
x < 4
x > 4
x > -1 1/3
x < -1 1/3

Answer 1

It almost the same as equality. You can still use transpositions here just like what we are doing in equalities.
Say 3x-8 = 4. Hence, x = 4
So if we have this type, what you need to do is to copy the inequality sign.

Answer 2

so the second one?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4
