Question

how would i go about solving the following equation?

 

4 > z < 3

 

PLEASE HELP with a step by step solution!

Answer 1

4 > z < 3

 

This is an inequality, not an equation.

 

If it's not a typo, then we can break it into two inequalities:

 

4 > z which can also be written

 

z < 4, and

 

z < 3.

 

If z < 3 it is certainly < 4. But if z is between 3 and 4 it would not be less than 3.

 

So the solution to the original inequality is z < 3.

Answer 2

 This inequality is solved, and not much to solve.

 

 3< Z < 4 

   Maybe it is asked to show in graph.

 

                                                   0  1.   2.   .3     4.     5

 

   The solution is on real line between 3, 4  

    on the point 3, 4 must be a space to indicate that Z can not take the values of 3, and 4 , but all values between those quantities.
