Heres the question from Maths in focus 3 unit book one.

q-2/3 < 2+ 3q/4

id appreciate any help thanks , tried some trial and error and now im too frustrated lol.:burn:

 

[watatank]

q-2/3 < 2+ 3q/4

q - 3q/4 < 2 + 2/3


q(1- 3/4) < 2 + 2/3

q < (2 + 2/3)/0.25

 

[Arithela]

(q - 2)/3 < 2 + 3q/4

multiply both sides by 12

4(q - 2) < 2(12) + 3(3q)

4q - 8 < 24 + 9q

-32 < 5q

5q > - 32

q > -32/5

 

[ihatetestz]

the answer is q > -6.4

question in words is

q-2 over 3 < 2+(space)3q over4
