Solve. 1/10x<-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Move the 1/10 to the other side by multiplying both by its inverse(1/10 flipped).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just to clarify. Is it this: \[\frac{ 1 }{ 10 }x<-3\] Or this: \[\frac{ 1 }{ 10x }<-3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Based on the way you put it, it is the bottom one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x>-30\]
