Solve X +1 2/3 >4

1 answer

To solve the inequality, we need to get X alone on one side of the equation. Let's start by subtracting 1 2/3 from both sides to isolate X.

X + 1 2/3 - 1 2/3 > 4 - 1 2/3

Simplifying, 1 2/3 - 1 2/3 becomes 0.

X + 0 > 4 - 1 2/3

This simplifies to:

X > 4 - 1 2/3

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 2 is 6.

X > 4 - 5/3

Now, we need to convert 4 to a fraction with a denominator of 3.

4 = 12/3

X > 12/3 - 5/3

X > (12 - 5)/3

X > 7/3

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is X > 7/3.
