The original compound inequality
1.99 < < 2.01
is (or represents) the system of two inequalities
1.99 < (1)
and
< 2.01. (2)
In particular, from the compound inequalities (1) and (2), it follows that is positive; hence x is positive.
Therefore, you can multiply both sides of each inequalities (1) and (2) by x without changing the direction
of each inequality.
Doing it with the inequality (1), you get
1.99x < 1; hence, x < = 0.502513. (3)
Doing it with the inequality (2), you get
1 < 2.01x; hence, x > = 0.497512. (4)
From inequalities (3) and (4), you get the FINAL ANSWER
0.497512 < x < 0.502513.
