Question 20238: My problem is:
5> (x-3)/4 > 1
I tried
4x5 > 4(x-3)/4 > 1x4
20 > x-3 > 4
+3 > +3 > +3
23 > x > 7
This does not look correct. Can you show me where I went wrong in this equation?
Thanks

Well, I don't see anything wrong with what you have done.
You might ask yourself..."Why do I think it doesn't look correct?"
Try graphing the result on a number line to convince yourself that you have done it correctly and have the right answer.
Alternatively, you could try some integers in the range:
and see that they work.
And try some outside the range.
Example:
Try x = 15 (within the range)

This is true!
Example:
Try x = 27 (outside the range)

Remember, both conditions must be true for the statement to be true, so this is false!
