Question 9117: I'm wondering if you could help me with this algebra problem that I need for school. It's an inequality that I just can't seem to get. The problem is:
3X-2/=0. I would really appreciate it if you could at least try it.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Try simplifying these expressions to form x >= something and x <= something.
The first 3x-2+%3C=+-5 simplifies to 3x+%3C=+-3 or x%3C=+-1.
Second one simplifies to x >= 1.
You have a system of inequalities
system%28+x+%3C=+-1%2C+x+%3E=+1+%29+
there is no x that satisfies these two requirements. There is no number that can be less than -1 and more than 1. Double check my work please.
