Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4
Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
The correct first step is to multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x - 6 < 4.
The correct solution is to add 6 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the x term: x - 6 + 6 < 4 + 6, which simplifies to x < 10.
The correct first step to solve the inequality is to divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4.
The correct solution is x<6.
