Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for j
−2<j<2
Alternative Form
j∈(−2,2)
Evaluate
8>j6
Move the expression to the left side
8−j6>0
Rewrite the expression
8−j6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−j6=0−8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−j6=−8
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
j6=8
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
j=±68
Simplify the expression
