Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for x
0<x<2
Alternative Form
x∈(0,2)
Evaluate
(4−2x)×52x>0
Multiply the terms
52x(4−2x)>0
Rewrite the expression
52x(4−2x)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x(4−2x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=04−2x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4−2x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2x=0−4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2x=−4
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2x=4
Divide both sides
22x=24
Divide the numbers
x=24
