1. Solve the inequality
1/5 + 1/3 X > 1/2 X - 1/4

Answer 1

The solution set is x < 2.7

Explanation:

To start, get all of the x terms on the right side and all the constant terms on the left.

1/5 + 1/3x > 1/2x - 1/4

1/5 + 1/4 + 1/3x > 1/2x

1/5 + 1/4 > 1/2x - 1/3x

Now give the terms on each side common denominators.

4/20 + 5/20 > 3/6x - 2/6x

9/20 > 1/6x

Now we can multiply both sides by 6.

27/10 > x

2.7 > x
