Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "61.5" was replaced by "(615/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :
x-(785/10)-((615/10))<0
Step by step solution :

Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :
x x • 2
x = — = —————
1 2
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
x • 2 - (157) 2x - 157
————————————— = ————————
2 2
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(2x - 157) 123
—————————— - ——— < 0
2 2
Step 4 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
4.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(2x-157) - (123) 2x - 280
———————————————— = ————————
2 2
Step 5 :
Pulling out like terms :
5.1 Pull out like factors :
2x - 280 = 2 • (x - 140)
Equation at the end of step 5 :
x - 140 < 0
Step 6 :
Solve Basic Inequality :
6.1 Add 140 to both sides
x < 140
