6%2Fx-4%22%22%3E%22%22-1

One way is to plug them all in and see:

Plug in 20 

6%2F20-4%22%22%3E%22%22-1

-3.7%22%22%3E%22%22-1

False.

Plug in 19 

6%2F19-4%22%22%3E%22%22-1

-3.684210526%22%22%3E%22%22-1

False.

Plug in 18 

6%2F18-4%22%22%3E%22%22-1

-3.666666667%22%22%3E%22%22-1

False.

Plug in 17 

6%2F17-4%22%22%3E%22%22-1

-3.647058824%22%22%3E%22%22-1

False.

I don't know how to read your inequality.

Is it   %286%2Fx%29-4 > -1 ?

Or   6%2F%28x-4%29 > -1 ??

Use parentheses properly and systematically,  when you post formulas to this forum.


It is the only way to make formulas readable.


Thank you.
