Solve the inequality. 7 − 9x > 4 − 11x

7 - 9x > 4 - 11x

We can treat this like a normal algebraic equation.

Add 11x to both sides.

7 + 2x > 4

Subtract 7 from both sides.

2x > -3

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -1.5

We can plug this value in, and both equations should be equal.

7 - 9(-1.5) = 4 - 11(-1.5)

7 + 13.5 = 4 + 16.5

20.5 = 20.5

The value of x stands.

If we use a value of 2 for x, the expression on the left will be greater than the expression on the right.

7 - 9(2) > 4 - 11(2)

7 - 18 > 4 - 22

-11 > -18

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.
