I have a question about ineqaluties with absolute value. My question is this: l5-3xl>9 I know I'm supposed to split the two inequalities with a negative nine and positive nine but then confused for the rest. Help please!

Okay, so I can help you with this. Let's imagine for a moment, that we do not have the absolute value. Then we have: 5 - 3x > +9 5 - 3x > -9 By subtracting 5 from both sides, we have: -3x > 4 -3x > -14 If we divide both sides by -3, then we have to change the sign. x < -4/3 x < -14/3 If this helps, please leave a medal, and visit my website at http://www.tutorsean.net for free math videos.

well you did good but you forgot to change the direction of the sign becuase when you divide or multiply the direction of the signal needs to change and I need help graphing this like is the answer about infinity or negative infinity??
