$$\le$$

anonymous · Answer

k-17<-(17-k)
k-17 < -17 +k
k-17 < k-17

which is the same thing?????

anonymous · Answer

its actually $$k-17\le-(17-k)$$

anonymous · Answer

oh ok my bad ahha

anonymous · Answer

what do i do now?

Well, since you know that both sides are exactly the same, and k-17 = k-17 (this is that "or equal to" part of the inequality), we can use any value of k for this to be true.

So, we would have infinitely many solutions of k for it.  (k is any value for it to be true)

anonymous · Answer

No. in the end u will get k=k. It does not matter if there are infinite solutions of k. What is the point of the question if it tells u that k=k. damn i dunno why am i so pissed at just this LOL.

anonymous · Answer

so would it be no solution?

@tiaph  hmm.. well, inequalities were never my strong point, but i assume when it wants you to find a value for k to be, and k can be any value to be true, the only thing you could say is that any value of k works.  D:

...or i guess you could say "this question is dumb, why would you ask me if they're exactly the same, hw assignment?!"
