the best way to solve these is to break them up into segments and then combine the answers at the end.
\n" ); document.write( "question number 1:
\n" ); document.write( "6 > x + 4 > 4
\n" ); document.write( "break this up into:
\n" ); document.write( "6 > x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 > 4
\n" ); document.write( "solve each separately:
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides of 6 > x + 4 to get 2 > x
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides of 2 + 4 > 4 to get x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "if 2 > x then x < 2
\n" ); document.write( "if x > 0 then 0 < x
\n" ); document.write( "combine this answer into:
\n" ); document.write( "0 < x < 2
\n" ); document.write( "plug a value of x that is greater than 0 and less than 2 into the original equation and you'll see that it is satisfied.
\n" ); document.write( "plug a value of x that is not greater than 0 or is not less than 2 into the original equation and you'l see that it is not satisfied.
\n" ); document.write( "question number 2:
\n" ); document.write( "2x > x > 10 > -x
\n" ); document.write( "break this up into:
\n" ); document.write( "2x > x
\n" ); document.write( "x > 10
\n" ); document.write( "10 > -x
\n" ); document.write( "solve each separately.
\n" ); document.write( "subtract x from both sides of 2x > x to get x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "leave x > 10 as is
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of 10 > -x by -1 to get -10 < x
\n" ); document.write( "this is the same as x > -10
\n" ); document.write( "multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number reverses the inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "combine this answer into:
\n" ); document.write( "x > 10 because if x > 10 then it satisfies x > 0 and it satisfies x > -10.
\n" ); document.write( "if you substitute into the original equation of 2x > x > 10 > -x, you'll see that if x > 10 then the equation is satisfied and if x <= 10 the equation is not satisfied.
\n" ); document.write( "question number 3:
\n" ); document.write( "abx = c
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by ab to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = c/ab
\n" ); document.write( "question number 4:
\n" ); document.write( "a + bx = c + dx
\n" ); document.write( "subtract dx from both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "a + bx - dx = c
\n" ); document.write( "subtract a from both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "bx - dx = c - a
\n" ); document.write( "factor out the x to gtet:
\n" ); document.write( "(b-d)x = c-a
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by (b-d) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = (c-a)/(b-d)
\n" ); document.write( "question number 5:
\n" ); document.write( "ax - x = bx + c
\n" ); document.write( "subtract bx from both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "ax - bx - x = c
\n" ); document.write( "factor out the x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x(a - b - 1) = c
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by (a-b-1) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = c/(a-b-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
