The inequality is .

Step 1: The exclude value for this inequality is .

Step 2:

Solve the related equation.

                           (Original equation)

The LCD for the term is .

(Multiply by LCD)

                        (Divide common factors)

                                (Multiply)

                                      (Subtraction)

                                 (Divide each side by )

                                         (Cancel common terms)

Step 3:

Draw vertical line at the excluded value and at the solutions to separate the number line into intervals.

Graph:

Graph the number line.

Step 4: Test values are in each interval to determine the values of interval satisfy the inequality.
