Question 17965
the rules of transformations between equalities and inequalities are same but for few exceptions..they are given below..use them to solve the inequalities
...........property..............equality....inequality.......conclusion
...example........................3+2=5.......5<8
1.reverse sides.left to right ...5=3+2......8>5..inequality changes from < to > 
2.multiply/divide with -ve number.-5=-(3+2)..-5>-8 same as above.........
3.take reciprocal.................1/(3+2)=1/5..1/5>1/8..same as above..
  so take care of these and solve
1example...x+5>8..or x>8-5=3..or x>3
2.3>5+x..or x+5<3..or x<3-5=-2..or x<-2..(exception rule no.1 above)
2.example...-x+5>8..or-x>8-5=3..or -x>3..or x<3(exception rule no2. above)
3.example...1/x>1/8...or x<8....(exception rule no.3 above)
SO BE CAREFULL IN THESE OPERATIONS..PARTICULARLY MULTIPLICATION/DIVISION WITH UNKNOWNS..YOU HAVE TO BE SURE WHETHER IT IS A +VE NUMBER OR _VE NUMBER
