Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4




Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4


Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6


Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6

Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x


Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x

Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x


Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
