Any number less than 4 will work

Brewer · Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If we write the inequality out, we get this:

x <1/4

(

3

x

+

4

)

Now we just need to solve for x. Multiplying both sides by 4 yields:

4

x

<

3

x

+

4

Subtract 3x from both sides:

x

<

4

So any number less than 4 will work!
