@Mrather

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Want to try it alone first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please don't solve it. @Australopithecus Nerd ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14+12>3x+5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You think you can solve it alone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean Mrather sorry. I'm helping her out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah. ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh its ok just tell me what you would like for me to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would like you to solve for x :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok 8x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok and what is the numbers on the other side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember. What you do to one side, you do to the other. -5x +12 > 3x +14 (-5x+5x) + 12 > (3x+5x) +14 12 > 8x + 14 (12-14) > 8x + (14-14) Is it really 26?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/4 <x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<-1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You messed up your signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was -1/4>x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/4> x is the same thing as x< -1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just remember where the small and the big of the sign is pointing so you avoid confusion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok can i get one more problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.
