The discussion revolves around the inequality x/(x-2) > 2, with participants seeking to rewrite it in the form P(x)/Q(x) > 0. The subject area involves algebraic manipulation and rational expressions.
There is active engagement among participants as they clarify the expression and explore steps to rewrite the inequality. Some guidance has been offered regarding the initial manipulation of the inequality, but no consensus on the complete approach has been reached.
Participants are addressing potential misunderstandings related to the expression's formatting and the implications of parentheses in the inequality.
I assume you mean , Solve x/(x-2) > 2 .elmosworld403 said:Solve x/ x-2 >2 by first rewriting it in the form P(x) / Q(x) >0
How do I go about first rewriting it into that form?

Parentheses are important. What you wrote literally means [itex]\displaystyle \ \ \frac{x}{x}-2>2\ .[/itex]
See the little bit I added to my previous post after you quoted it.elmosworld403 said:Yes sorry
X/ (X-2) > 2
and form (P(x))/(Q(x)) > 0
