#1: Solve the inequality below.
-3x + 5 < -19

Explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations,

in this inequality,  start by isolating the x term which in this

case is -3x by subtracting 5 from both sides.

That leaves you with -3x < -24.

To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3 but watch out.

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a

negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.

So we have x < 8 and put your final answer in

set notation and it look like this → {x: x < 8}.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
