$\"+8+%3C+9x+%2B+7+%3C+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I can state this as 2 inequalities
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+8+%3C+9x+%2B+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+9x+%2B+7+%3C+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+8+%3C+9x+%2B+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+7+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+1+%3C+9x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+x+%3E+1%2F9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+9x+%2B+7+%3C+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+7+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+9x+%3C+-4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+x+%3C+-4%2F9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "There is no solution for $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "because both inequalities cannot
\n" ); document.write( "be true at the same time
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"+x+=+2%2F9+\"$ , then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%3E+1%2F9+\"$ is satisfied

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8+%3C+9+%3C+3+\"$ is not true
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"+x+=+-5%2F9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%3C+-4%2F9+\"$ is satisfied
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8+%3C+9%2A%28-5%2F9%29+%2B+7+%3C+3+\"$
