Inequality- tell me what im doing wrong? -5x+10<25 so I subtract both sides by 10. -5x<15 then I divide both sides by -5. the answer I got was x>-3.
when you multiply or divide by a -ve, the inequality sign flips
you aren't doing anything wrong
The answer I got wasn't right, so there has to be something im doing wrong /:
the answer is correct though any number you plug in which is greater than -3 will solve the equation which is exactly the answer you got
unless the question isn't asking you to solve for x, and it's asking you for something else
no its asking for a solution to inequality
well the solution to that inequality is x > -3 unless it means like, a single solution or something... like x = -2 or x=-1 etc.
well thank you,
sorry i cant help any further!
