40+.4>35+.55x
first, isolate the variable by subtracting 35 from both sides and dividing .55 from both sides
your answer should be x<108/11 OR 9.818181...
Thanks guest,
simplify the sides individually first.
40.4 > 35 +0.55x
now get all the numbers without an x on one side. that is, subrtact 35 from both sides.
40.4 -35 > 35 +0.55x -35
5.4 > 0.55x
And yse, now divide both sides by 0.55
