e/-4+8 < 1

t+3/2 < -8

I can do linear equations, but when the fractions are in there, I get stumped. I forget what to do with them.

I CONQUERED

I assume you mean e/-4 + 8 < 1
rather than e/(-4+8) < 1 ...

so take 8 from both sides

e/-4 < -7

multiply both sides by -4 (remembering the inequality swaps when multiplying by a negative number)
e > 28

et voila...

Thanks...

I remembered that when a fraction's in an equation, it must be multitplied.  But I didn't remember by what.  Now I know for sure it's the denominator.  I think I've got it now (hopefully, since the test is on Tuesday).

please put parentheses

There weren't any parantheses in the problem as the way it was in the book.  I copied it down the way it was written.

Yeah, they may not have but they are most likely written in a different way.

Example:

Is that  

e
---- + 8 < 1 ----> (e/-4)+8 < 1
-4

or

e
------- < 1 ? -----> e/(-4+8) < 1
-4 + 8
