Question

How do you solve an inequality that has a fraction (with a variable as the nemurator/demoninator

Answer 1

Answer:

Solving with an equality is just simply the same as solving any algebra equations. If you were given a fraction, then just multiply both sides.

Example:

4 + $\frac{x}{2}$ > 14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

4 - 4 + $\frac{x}{2}$ > 14 - 4

$\frac{x}{2}$ > 10

Now multiply both sides by 2:

$\frac{x}{2}$ × 2 > 10 × 2

x > 20
