I am trying to make this statement true. 9/8 > x/2. How do I figure out what goes in x(numerator)?

(9)/(8)>(x)/(2)

we must solve x, so remove the 2 on the denominator multipliying on both sides by 2


\begin{gathered} (9)/(8)*2>(x)/(2)*2 \\ \\ (18)/(8)>x \\ \\ (9)/(4)>x \\ \\ x<(9)/(4) \end{gathered}

x values ​​must be less than 9/4
