i need help with this problem. 9x + 1/4 > 2x - 1. I multiplied 4 on both sides and got 9x+1 is greater than 8x+4. Then I subtracted 8x from both sides and then I subtracted 1 from both sides and came up with x is greater than 3. I graphed it as a closed circle pointing to the right. Can someone please check to see if this is correct for me? Thanks.

anyone???

oh no

if you multiply by 4 to get rid of annoying fraction, you have to multiply EVERYTHING

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[36x+1>8x-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unless of course the left was actually \[\frac{9x+1}{4}\] in which case you would get \[9x+1>8x-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would i then divide both sides by 4?
