Answer:

20. (4) x > 6

21. (3) 14x

Explanation:

Question 20


\begin{aligned}(1)/(2)x+3 &amp; < 2x-6\\(1)/(2)x+3-3 &amp; < 2x-6-3\\(1)/(2)x &amp; < 2x-9\\(1)/(2)x-2x &amp; < 2x-9-2x\\-(3)/(2)x &amp; < -9\\-(3)/(2)x \cdot 2 &amp; < -9 \cdot 2\\-3x &amp; < -18\\-(3x)/(3) &amp; < -(18)/(3)\\-x &amp; < -6\\(-x)/(-1) &amp; < (-6)/(-1)\\x &amp; > 6\end{aligned}

Question 21

Rewrite all three fractions so that their denominators are the same:


(1)/(2)=(1 * 7x)/(2 * 7x)=(7x)/(14x)


(2)/(7x)=(2 * 2)/(7x * 2)=(4)/(14x)


(5)/(x)=(5 * 14)/(x * 14)=(70)/(14x)

Therefore, the least common denominator is
14x
