Question
Solve the following linear inequations in R:
$\frac{\text{x}-1}{\text{x}+3}>2$
✓
Answer
$\frac{\text{x}-1}{\text{x}+3}>2$
$\frac{\text{x}-1}{\text{x}+3}-2<0$
$\frac{\text{x}-1-2(\text {x}+3)}{\text{x}+3}>0$
$\frac{\text{x}-1-2\text{x}-6}{\text{x}+3}>0$
$\frac{-\text{x}-7}{\text{x}+3}>0$
$\frac{\text{x}+7}{\text{x}+3}<0$
Case 1: $\text{x}+7>0$ and $\text{x}+3<0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}>-7$ and $\text{x}>-3$
Case 2: $\text{x}+7<0$ and $\text{x}+3>0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}<-7$ and $\text{x}>-3$
This is not possible.
$\therefore$ The solution set is (-7, -3)
