Solve for x.<br><br><br>−4/5x+3/10&lt;8/10
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x > -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify by combining x and 4/5 and then moving 4 to the left side of x

-x * 4/5 + 3/10 < 8/10

-4x/5 + 3/10 < 8/10

Now we cancel the common factor of 8 and 10.

Factor 2 out of 8

-4x/5 + 3/10 < 2(4)/10

2 from 10

-4x/5 + 3/10 < 4/5

Now move all the terms not containing x to the right side

Lets subtract 3/10 from both sides

-4x/5 < 4/5 - 3/10

Now we multiply by 2/2 to write 4/5 with a common denomi.

-4x/5 < 4/5 * 2/2 - 3/10

Now write with a common denom of 10 and multiply by 1

-4x/5 < 4*2/5 * 2 - 3/10

5 by 2

-4x/5 < 4 * 2/10 - 3/10

Combine

-4x/5 < 4 * 2 - 3/10

Simplify the numerator by multiplying then subtracting

-4x/5 < 8 - 3/10

-4x/5 < 5/10

Cancel the common factor of 5 and 10...

-4x/5 < 5(1)/10

-4x/5 5* 1/5 * 2

-4x/5 < 1/2

Now we divide by -1

-4x/5)/-1 > 1/2)/-1

4x/5 > 1/2)-1

4x/5 > -1/2

Multiply both sides by 5 and cancel common factors. (5)

4x * 5 > -1/2 * 5

4x > -1/2 * 5

4x > -5/2

Now divide by 4 in each term

4x/4 > -5/2)/4

x > -5/2)/4

Multiply the numer by the reciprocal of the denom

x > -5/1 * 1/4

x > -5/4 * 2

x > -5/8

Rationalize the numerator. <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B144x%20%7D%20%7D%7B%20%5Csq
Simora [160]

rationalizing the numerator, or namely, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the top".


we simply multiply top and bottom by a value that will take out the radicand in the numerator.


\bf \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{144x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}~~&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;144=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3\\&#10;\qquad 2^3\cdot 18&#10;\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{2^3\cdot  18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{  18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{  18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{(18x)^2}}{\sqrt[3]{(18x)^2}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{(18x)(18x)^2}}{\sqrt[3]{(y)(18x)^2}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{(18x)^3}}{\sqrt[3]{18^2x^2y}}


\bf \cfrac{2(18x)}{\sqrt[3]{324x^2y}}~~&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;324=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\&#10;\qquad 12\cdot 3^3&#10;\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{36x}{\sqrt[3]{12\cdot 3^3x^2y}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{36x}{3\sqrt[3]{12x^2y}}\implies \cfrac{12x}{\sqrt[3]{12x^2y}}
