and its this sign >

Answer 11

Solve this inequality.

-3x - 2 > 7

Answer 12

okay so which one are you on you have like three or four problems here

Answer 13

the last one

Answer 14

-3x-2>7, First add 2 to each side, so the new equation rads -3x>9 then divide by negative three, so the answer is x>-3 but WAIT you are not done. Since you divided by a negative you have to flip the sign so the actual answer is x<-3

Answer 15

okay add 2 to both sides

Answer 16

does that clarify things?

Answer 17

Solve this inequality.

-9x - 3 > 51

Answer 18

@Lills no still confused

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

Answer 24

adding

Answer 25

exactly. So your original problem was -9x -3 > 51. so for right now lets pretend the ">" is an equal sign. Do you know how to solve for x when it is written like "-9x-3=51"?

Answer 26

first add 3.

Answer 27

so 9 + 3?

Answer 28

no, you are balancing the equation. What you do to one side of the equal sign you have to do to the other. SO
