You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28x%2B9%29%2Fx%3E=6
%28x%2B9%29%2Fx-6%3E=0
%28x%2B9-6x%29%2Fx%3E=0
%289-5x%29%2Fx%3E=0
The numerator and denominator change signs (from positive to negative)
at x=9%2F5=1.8 and x=0 respectively .
For 0%3Cx%3C=9%2F5 , system%28x%3E0%2C9-5x%3E=0%29 and %289-5x%29%2Fx%3E=0 ,
For x=0 , %28x%2B9%29%2Fx%3E=6 is undefined,
For all other real values of x , meaning system%28x%3C0%2C%22or%22%2Cx%3E9%2F5%29 ,
%289-5x%29%2Fx%3C0 .
So, highlight0%3Cx%3C=9%2F5%29 is the solution.
