\[x/4+x/2-x+1>0\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{2}>x-1\]\[\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x\color{red} {\times 2}}{2\color{red} {\times 2}}>x-1\]\[\frac{x}{4}+\frac{2x}{4}>x-1\]\[\frac{3x}{4}>x-1\]\[\frac{3x}{4}>\frac{\color{red} {4}x}{\color{red} {4}}-1\]\[\frac{3x}{4}\color{red} {-\frac{4x}{4}}>\frac{4x}{4}-1\color{red} {-\frac{4x}{4}}\]\[-\frac{x}{4}>-1\]x=?

My ans. is x < 4 .. Is that correct?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

fine I'll finish it. \[-\frac{x}{4}\color{red} {\times (-4)}>-1\color{red} {\times (-4)}\]flipe the sign when multiplying by a negative, and you get, \[\color{blue} {x~<~4~}\]
