27x+33>58x-29 s/n please draw the problem the way you see it thank you

Directrix (directrix):

@Khandi Is the question to solve for x and then graph? Sorry but I don't know what s/n means.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve the inequality and it means side note

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and graph as well

Directrix (directrix):

@Khandi Here's the inequality: 27x+33>58x-29 Add -58x to both sides 27x- 58x +33 > 58x -58x - 29 Your Turn: Simplify the left side and the right side and post the result here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the i got 85x+33>-29 so would i subtract 33 from -29

Directrix (directrix):

Is 27x- 58x = + 85x. Check that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused can you like draw it

Directrix (directrix):

I did not. You did. -------- I got 27x- 58x = -31 x

Directrix (directrix):

Don't worry about the drawing. We have to get the equation solved first.

Directrix (directrix):

Here's where you left off: the i got 85x+33>-29 so would i subtract 33 from -29 Then, I saw an error --- how did you get 85 x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 85 x because you told me to ad 58x to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait you told me to add -58x but how did you get -58x when theres a subtrction sign in front it

Directrix (directrix):

I said the following: Add -58x to both sides. Adding -58x is the same as subtracting 58x.

Directrix (directrix):

If that is confusing, then solve the original inequality for x in the way you usually do: Please post what you get. 27x + 33 > 58x - 29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand it

Directrix (directrix):

27x + 33 > 58x - 29 27x - 58x + 33 > 58x -58x - 29 --> added -58x to both sides -31x + 33 > -29 --> Okay @Khandi --> What's the next step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont understand the -58 part but would i add 33 to -29

Directrix (directrix):

No, you would subtract 33 from -29 OR you could add -33 to -29. This might make more sense if written as follows in the next post I make.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
