Solution
The image you uploaded contains a complex inequality expression involving fractions and variables. I will transcribe and solve the inequality step by step.
The inequality is as follows:
Step-by-Step Solution
- Simplify each side separately:
-
On the left side: Also, simplify the term with the fraction: Putting this all together, the left side becomes:
-
On the right side: Simplify each term: The right side becomes:
- Clear the denominators by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator (LCM of 20 and 15, which is 60):
Multiplying each side by 60 to eliminate the fractions.
Let me proceed with this simplification.After multiplying both sides by 60, we get the following simplified inequality:
Step-by-Step Solution from Here:
