Question

Slove the linear equation
4- 5/9x > 7

Answer 1

HELP!!! Please

Answer 2

It was linear.

Answer 3

* multiplying both sides by 9x (not dividing both sides by 9x)

Answer 4

Wow, you lost me in some parts but I understand it more if I keep reading it over. Thank you

Answer 5

This is a inequality. first subtract 4 from both sides getting -5/9x >3

Now multiply both sides by 9x getting -5>27x now divide both sides by 27 getting
-5/27 >x or
x < -5/27

What is bothering me is the operation where we multiplied both sides by 9x because if x was a negative value we would be required to reverse the sense of the nonequality sign.
