0<6-2x<4
3 answers
x is greater than one and less than 3
You have two inequalities:
1.
0 < 6 - 2 x
2.
6 - 2 x < 4
First inequalitie:
0 < 6 - 2 x
Add 2 x to both sides
0 + 2 x < 6 - 2 x + 2 x
2 x < 6
Divide both sides by 2
x < 3
Second inequalitie:
6 - 2 x < 4
Add 2 x to both sides
6 - 2 x + 2 x < 4 + 2 x
6 < 4 + 2 x
Subtract 4 to both sides
6 - 4 < 4 + 2 x - 4
2 < 2 x
Divide both sides by 2
1 < x
Merge overlapping intervals:
1 < x < 3
This mean:
x greater of 1 and less of 3
1.
0 < 6 - 2 x
2.
6 - 2 x < 4
First inequalitie:
0 < 6 - 2 x
Add 2 x to both sides
0 + 2 x < 6 - 2 x + 2 x
2 x < 6
Divide both sides by 2
x < 3
Second inequalitie:
6 - 2 x < 4
Add 2 x to both sides
6 - 2 x + 2 x < 4 + 2 x
6 < 4 + 2 x
Subtract 4 to both sides
6 - 4 < 4 + 2 x - 4
2 < 2 x
Divide both sides by 2
1 < x
Merge overlapping intervals:
1 < x < 3
This mean:
x greater of 1 and less of 3
0<6-2x<4.
Subtract 6 from all 3 sides:
-6<-2x<-2,
Divide all 3 sides by -2 and reverse the inequality signs:
3>X>1.
This a compound inequality and is read as follows:
X is less than 3 and greater than 1.
Therefore, X lies between 1 and 3.
