Exercise 38 Page 190

Use inverse operations to isolate the variable.

s<11/2

Practice makes perfect

We have been given the following inequality. 4/3 s -3< s+2/3-1/3 s We can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 3 to clear the denominators of all the fractions.

4/3 s -3< s+2/3-1/3 s
3( 4/3 s -3)< 3(s+2/3-1/3 s)
3* 4/3 s -9< 3s+3* 2/3-3* 1/3 s
4s -9< 3s+2-1s
4s -9< 2s+2
4s< 2s+11
2s<11
s<11/2

The solution set to the inequality is s< 112.
