To find the answer, you plug in the values for x. Nothing less than one in the set of given values, works. 1 works, 9/4 works, and 5/2 works. But everything else doesn't. Or, you could simply divide both sides by 2 to get x alone. That makes x>7/8. Meaning 7/8 doesn't work, but anything above it, does. So you could just look for the ones that are greater than 7/8.
