Answer 3

I don't think you're getting these.

Answer 4

i am trying to get them! but they just confuse me alot

Answer 5

Divide both sides by -6 and don't forget to reverse the inequality symbol because you will be dividing by a negative number.

Answer 6

That's the thing. She doesn't really have to do that. I think that's the confusing part. I was trying to convince her to do it a different way:

-6x < 30

Subtract 30 from both sides, then add 6x to both sides:

-30 < 6x

Then divide both sides by 6:
-30/6 < x
-5 < x

Answer 7

but i dont know if it is a open crcle or a closed one?

Answer 8

It is open. Because it is only > or < not >= or <=.
