Solve the following

Question:

$\frac{5 x+8}{4-x}<2$

Solution:

We have, $\frac{5 x+8}{4-x}<2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5 x+8}{4-x}-2<0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5 x+8-2(4-x)}{4-x}<0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5 x+8-8+2 x}{4-x}<0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{7 x}{4-x}<0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{7 x}{x-4}>0$

$\therefore x \in(-\infty, 0) \cup(4, \infty)$
