Solve the inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "4x/6-x (less than) x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve the equality:
\n" ); document.write( "4x/(6-x) = x
\n" ); document.write( "4x = x(6-x)
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 6x - x^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x(x-2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0 or x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Comment x = 6, x = 0, and x = 2 are values that x cannot take.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a number line; plot the numbers 0,2,6 on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "Pick a test value in each of the 4 line intervals to see
\n" ); document.write( "where the solutions lie.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4x/6-x (less than) x
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check x = -1; -4/7 < -1; false
\n" ); document.write( "Check x = 1 ; 4/(5)<1 ; true
\n" ); document.write( "Check x = 4 ; 16/2<4 ; false
\n" ); document.write( "Check x = 8 ; 21/2 < 8 ; false
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "0 < x < 2
\n" ); document.write( "===========================
