Question 647527: Hi, can you please help me solve this equation: ++-9x%3C-4x%3C-x++
I know whatever is done needs to be done to both sides. I added 4x to each side and got: ++-5x%3C-x++, but I'm not sure what to do after this. Thank you.

This is a special case. Divide everything by x to realize that when this is done, the statement is true. Since that is the case, but you don't want to change the value of the statement, x must be 1.
