OpenStudy (anonymous):

myalgebra.com its really helpful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<27/4??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just cross-multiply them to get:\[(-2)(10)<(9)(5x-9)\]\[-20<45x-81\]\[61<45x\]\[61/45<x\]\[x>61/45\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its actually x,-99/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know the steps for x,-99/4

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Better be careful here about that cross multiplication deal. Do you know if 5x-9 is positive or negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative i think

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I don't think you know. That is exactly the point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That you have to consider 2 cases. The first case is if 5x-9 is positive.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The second case is if 5x-9 is negative.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Let's take the first case.
