3/2 x ≤ -1/4 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I have is x ≤ -6

OpenStudy (callisto):

Is the question \(\frac{3}{2}x \le -\frac{1}{4}\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (callisto):

Divide both sides by 3/2, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what I got is x > 0

OpenStudy (callisto):

That doesn't look right :( \(\frac{3}{2}x \le -\frac{1}{4}\) \[\frac{\frac{3}{2}x}{\frac{3}{2}} \le -\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{2}}\]\[x \le -\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{4}\]Simplify the right side.

3/12

Nope.. cancel the common factor first, then multiply the fractions together.
