Answer: 0.02/500 > x

Explanation:

3500x +0.06 >4,000x+0.04

Subtract 3500x from both sides

0.06 > 500x + 0.04

Subtract 0.04 from both sides

0.02 > 500x

Divided by 500 from both sides

0.02/500 > x

Answer:

To solve this problem, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality. We can do this by subtracting 0.06 and 4,000x from both sides of the inequality.

3500x + 0.06 > 4,000x + 0.04

3500x + 0.06 - 0.06 > 4,000x + 0.04 - 0.06

3500x > 4,000x + 0.04 - 0.06

3500x - 4,000x > 0.04 - 0.06

-500x > -0.02

Next, we can divide both sides of the inequality by -500 to find the value of x.

-500x/-500 > -0.02/-500

x > 0.00004

Therefore, the solution is x > 0.00004. This means that x can be any value greater than 0.00004.
