What is the solution for this inequality? 8x < -32 is it...x>-4

i'm a bit confused now...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ he's right... you're not dividing by a negative number... you're diving a negative number by a positive number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so if it was flipped around say -9< 7 then it would be flipped then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but since positive is infront u keep it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.... so when you divide... the number you divide by needs to be positive... if it isn't then you flip the sign, other than that.. forget about the signs lol :)
