Question

solve the inequality for x.
1-7/2x < 9/2 -3/4x

Answer 1

if it was me, i would multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of annoying fraction and start with
\[4-14x<18-3x\]

Answer 2

then add \(14x\) to both sides to get \[4<18x+11\] subtract \(11\) to get
\[-7<18x\] and finally divide both sides by \(18\)

Answer 3

that's what i'm trying to do but the answer has to be in fraction form according to my sister's homework :$ so i'm sort of lost lol

Answer 4

oops typo
when you divide both sides by \(18\) you get \[-\frac{7}{18}<x\]

Answer 5

I see, thank you for your help! math is not my best subject to help someone with lol so thanks!

Answer 6

There may be a typo in reply 2. The right hand side should be 18 + 11x
