This all looks kinda messed up people ;)

1) We would need to know what range of numbers x may be. but lets pretend it may be stuff like 1/3


2) first part:

-3 < 1/x

results to:

-3x < 1
x > -(1/3)

the second part:

1/x <= 1

results to:

1 <= x
x >= 1

thus you have x > -(1/3) and x >= 1 making the answer to what x is:

x >= 1

(because 1 > -(1/3))
