Question
2x<9x6
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
x∈(−∞,0)∪(3554,+∞)
Evaluate
2x<9x6
Move the expression to the left side
2x−9x6<0
Rewrite the expression
2x−9x6=0
Factor the expression
x(2−9x5)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=02−9x5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2−9x5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−9x5=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−9x5=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
9x5=2
Divide both sides
99x5=92
Divide the numbers
x5=92
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5x5=592
