Solve 14/(x^2-3x) - 8/x > -10/(x-3)
Well you want to first open the brackets and get x on one side by itself
You have to also consider the separate cases of when x is positive and when its negative
rewrite the inequality as 14/(x^2-3x) - 8(x-3)/(x^2-3x) > -10x/(x^2-3x) or (14-8(x-3)+10x)/(x^2-3x) > 0
sorry i was away from my computer for a minute.
so then I have 38+2x/x^2-3x>0
@watchmath what do i do with this next
ok so you have (38+2x)/(x(x-3)) >0. Draw a number line and put the point x=-19, x=0, x=3 on it. Then check the sign of (38+2x),x, (x-3) on each subinterval and find out which subinterval that gives (38+2x)/(x(x-3)) is positive
Here are your answers. x>3, that's your solution. Integer solutions are. x=-18 x=-17 x=-16
thank you both!
