PLEASE HELP! Which of the following is an equivalent form of the compound inequality −44 −2x − 8 =−8? −2x − 8 −44 and −2x − 8 =−8 −2x −44 and −8 =−8 −2x − 8

Question

PLEASE HELP! Which of the following is an equivalent form of the compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 >=−8? −2x − 8 > −44 and −2x − 8 >=−8 −2x > −44 and −8 >=−8 −2x − 8 < −44 and −2x − 8 =<−8 −2x − 8 < −44 and −2x − 8 =<−8

add 8
divide by -2
when you divide change all the inequalities.  i.e. flip them so 
$$\geq$$ becomes 
$$\leq$$ and so on

anonymous · Answer

$$−44 > −2x − 8 \geq−8$$
$$-44+8>-2x-8+8\geq-8+8$$
$$-36>-2x\geq 0$$
is there a typo here?

anonymous · Answer

because there is no way that this has a solution.  the very first line has 
$$-44>-8$$ which is certainly not true. so you cannot solve this

anonymous · Answer

I've gotten that a lot. I think it's just the math program I am in. sorry :/

anonymous · Answer

you should tell your teacher that it makes no sense to start out with an inequality that looks like 
$$-44>\text{expression } >-8$$ since it is wrong at the start!

is this an on line program?  love to know which one.  really.
