Median= 3
Range= 5
Mode= 3
Mean= 4
Your first steps are correct. Mult. the given fraction by (1+sqrt(5)) / (1+sqrt(5)).
Result: 8(1 + sqrt(5) ) 8(1 + sqrt(5) )

1 - 5 -4
Must keep that denominator (-4).
When you solve an equation, it has an equal sign (=) and inequalities do not. When you solve an inequality the answer isn't exact (depending on the sign ie: <, >, etc...) equations usually are exact answers. other than that, I don't think there is a big difference in solving them.
It’s actually true!
