first you get x alone on both sides. then you divide the number x is next to and you have an answer!!
example
4x-4>8 ::::::problem
4x>12 ::::::: add 4 to both sides. 4+4 and 4+8
x=3 :::::::: divide by 4
Expressions cannot be solved. Only equations or inequalities may be solved. Also, there is no symbol between 3i and 5.
Somewhat, but the rules are a bit different for inequalities. Example. -2X > 4 X < - 2 See, sign changes when dividing by negative coefficient.
An equation is composed of mathematical statements, which can be arranged to result in a series of equations/inequalities which can be solved for each unknown.
There are many simple questions in everyday life that can be modelled by linear equations and solved using linear programming.
There are no equations nor inequalities in the question only trinomial expressions. Expressions cannot be solved.
Algebraic inequalities can be solved in the same fashion as algebraic equations. The goal here, as in algebraic equations, is to isolate the variable. The one thing to remember, however, is that when dividing or multiplying both sides by a negative number, one must switch the inequality sign.
There is no answer because the question contains what appear to be two expressions in 2 variables. There are no equations nor inequalities and so there is nothing which can be solved.
Many problems in economics can be modelled by a system of linear equations: equalities r inequalities. Such systems are best solved using matrix algebra.
Inequalities are not reflexive. Inequalities are not commutative.
It may be possible to solve equations. Expressions cannot be solved until they are converted, with additional information, into equations or inequalities which may have solutions.
The definition of equivalent inequalities: inequalities that have the same set of solutions
inequalities.
