Inequalities but `x` is on the right
`5<\x`
Is a solution but it is expected that you put `x` on the LEFT.
When you do this flip the inequality
`5<\x`
`=\x>5`
There are two ways to be certain:
Method 1
We learnt that > or < could be thought of as an arrow head `rarr` or `larr` and always points to the smaller value.
So:
`5<\x`
Is
`5larrx`
This means that `x` points to the smaller amount.
Turn it around and it still has to point to the smaller amount.
`5<\x`
`5larrx`
`xrarr5`
`x>5`
Method 2
`5<\x`
If you want to put `x` on the left always check with a figure you know.
`5<6`
This says 5 is less than 6.
Turn it around and the sign
`6>5`
Therefore
`5<\x`
Is the same as
`x>5`
