-3z – 7 > -4z + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. Bring the variables onto one side and the constants to one side. \[-3z - 7 > -4z + 1\]\[-3z + 4z - 7 + 7 > -4z + 4z + 1 + 7\]Can you solve from there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3+4-7+7=1z -4+4+1+7=8z 1<8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already brought the terms to their respective sides? Just combine like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm sorry i don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For instance here: z + 2z - 3 + 3 > 2 + 2 3z + 0 > 4 3z > 4 See what I mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Above was an example by the way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3+4-7+7=1z -4+4+1+7=8z 1z<8z this is not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In other words, when combining life terms: \[(-3z + 4z) + (-7 + 7) > (-4z + 4z) + ( 1 + 7)\]\[z + 0 > 0 + 8\]\[z = 8\]See?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm nt seeing were th 0's come in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7 + 7 is 0 no? and -4z + 4z is also 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg i'm so sorry i was doing it wrong in the calculator

hero (hero):

You did - 7 + 7 using a calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no -3+4-7+7=1z
