OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x }{ 5 } \ge -2\] \[x \ge -10\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MWong123 you made a slight mistake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what mistake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check your inequality sign.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dont you flip it when you divide the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cayers2005 nope, it only changes when you divide or multiply by a negative number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh I remember that, thank you for the revision :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait! look, since you have to isolate x, you need to multiply 5 on both sides. I did that. since the right side has -2, and you multiply 5, its -10. my answer is right. isnt it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MWong123 yes it is -10, but your inequality sign is wrong.
