Please Help! inequality question in comments. Thanks :) :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 2x-2 }>\frac{ 10 }{ 4x+2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to solve for x

OpenStudy (hoblos):

to solve this inequality, we have to make it linear first to do so multiply both sides by the denominators

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

cross multiply !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean like \[3(2x+1) > 5(x-1)\]

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

ya !

OpenStudy (hoblos):

correct now we have to get all the x terms to one side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if I move the (2x+1) to the right side to give \[3>\frac{ 5(x-1) }{ 2x+1 }\] but them im moving an x over and it might be negative, so doesn't that mean I might have to swap the inequality??
