OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to get x by itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

besides that i am horrible at fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, we need to divide both sides by -5/6, agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess, when i'm doing this do i flip either fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you i figured it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, multiply by the reciprocal. Remember you're multiplying by a negative, so the inequality flips. The solution is: \[{ x \in R : x < -24/55 }\]
