Given the equation:
nine less than the quotient of two and a number x
Solution:
The given equation can be represented as,
9 < 2/x
In order to solve for the number, we multiply first x on both sides of the equation to cancel out 2/x.
9 < 2/x
(x)(9) < (x)(2/x)
9x < 2
Divide both sides by 9 in order to determine the value of x.
9x/9 < 2/9
x < 2/9
Final answer:
x < 2/9
