For what range of values of x is 1/2x + 1/4 > 1/3x + 1/2?

A.

x < 3/2

B.

x > 3/2

C.

x < -3/2

D.

x > -3/2

Correct Answer: x > 3/2

Explanation

1/2x + 1/4 > 1/3x + 1/2 Multiply through by through by the LCM of 2, 3 and 4 12 x 1/2x + 12 x 1/4 > 12 x 1/3x + 12 x 1/2 6x + 3 > 4x + 6 6x - 4x > 6 - 3 2x > 3 2x/2 > 3/2 x > 3/2

1/2x + 1/4 > 1/3x + 1/2 Multiply through by through by the LCM of 2, 3 and 4 12 x 1/2x + 12 x 1/4 > 12 x 1/3x + 12 x 1/2 6x + 3 > 4x + 6 6x - 4x > 6 - 3 2x > 3 2x/2 > 3/2 x > 3/2
