Question

Solve for x.

Reduce any fractions to lowest terms. Don't round your answer, and don't use mixed fractions.
4r +4< 9x + 8

Answer 1

x > 4r/9 - 4/9

Explanation:

4r + 4 < 9x + 8

Subtract 8 on both sides.

4r + 4 - 8 < 9x + 8 - 8

4r + -4 < 9x

Divide 9 into both sides.

4r/9 - 4/9 < x

Switch sides.

x > 4r/9 - 4/9
