Solve 2/3x > 8 or 2/3x < 4. x > 12 or x < 6 x Ø

Question

Solve 2/3x > 8 or 2/3x < 4. x x > 16/3 or x < 8/3 Ø

Answer 1

The first choice is the one you want

Explanation:

Solve the inequalities one at a time:

`(2)/(3)x>8`

Multiply both sides by 3:

2x > 24 and

x > 12

For the next one:

`(2)/(3)x <4`

Again, multiply both sides by 3:

2x < 12 and

x < 6

So the solution set is {x I x > 12 or x < 6}
