wat will i do 1st? 3x-6>4x-15 :) wheewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract \(3x\) from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second step will be to add \(15\) to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure? or is it right to add 6 on both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want to get \(x\) by itself, not to clear on sides completely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you subtract \(3x\) from both sides, the \(x\) term will be on the left. to get it alone on the left, you need to add \(15\) to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i meant "the \(x\) term will be on the RIGHT"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one is correct? (4x-15) - 3x or (4x-3x)-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3x-6>4x-15\] \[-6>x-15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then add 15 to both sides and you get \[9>x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is x<9 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it annoys you that the \(x\) in on the right, you can change this to \[x<9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
