10 < –3x + 1

mathslover (mathslover):

\[\huge{10 < -3x+1}\] \[\huge{10-1 < -3x+1-1}\] \[\huge{9 > -3x}\] remember whenever we multiply the sign of inequality changes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

mathslover (mathslover):

* sorry i meant remember whenever we subtract the sign of inequality changes

mathslover (mathslover):

also whenever we divide by negative terms the sign of inequality also changes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thannks

mathslover (mathslover):

\[\huge{9 > -3x}\] \[\huge{\frac{9}{-3}<\frac{-3x}{-3}}\] note here that the sign changed \[\huge{-3<x}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

\[\huge{x>-3}\]

2(x + 5) > 8x – 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how bout this

mathslover (mathslover):

2(x+5) ? can u simplify this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes u can do 2x =10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant 2x+10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+10 > 8x - 8 *8 +8 2x + 18 > 8x is it right so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i accidently made a star thats a plus sign

mathslover (mathslover):

oh very right can u do it further

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um let me try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x + 18 > 8x do u put the xs on one side so 2x + -8x > -18

mathslover (mathslover):

dont forget to change the sign

mathslover (mathslover):

> this will convert into <

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2x+-8x < -18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then wat do i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u add the x's soo -6x < -18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right??

mathslover (mathslover):

yes right !!!

mathslover (mathslover):

now divide both sides by -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then u do x > -3

mathslover (mathslover):

ah great u r right again ... i was just going to check whether u changed that sign or not ... good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thank u
