Question
Solve the inequality
98<x<6
Alternative Form
x∈(98,6)
Evaluate
x:−8<x−1<5
Separate into two inequalities
{x÷(−8)<x−1x−1<5
Solve the inequality
More Steps

Evaluate
x÷(−8)<x−1
Divide the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
x÷(−8)
Rewrite the expression
−8x
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
−8x
−8x<x−1
Multiply both sides of the inequality by 8
−8x×8<(x−1)×8
Multiply the terms
−x<(x−1)×8
Multiply the terms
More Steps

Multiply the terms
(x−1)×8
Apply the distributive property
x×8−8
Multiply the terms
8x−8
−x<8x−8
Move the variable to the left side
−x−8x<−8
Subtract the terms
