Answer 6

help!! plzzz

Answer 7

@ajprincess :) :) :)

What do u get when u solve this for x?

Answer 9

@charlieberzak

Answer 10

i know im here :) im thinking

Answer 11

k:) take ur time:)

Answer 12

when u solve for x meaning?? ummm what is x?

Answer 13

x<?
i want u to find the value that fits in the place of ?.

Answer 14

x will be anything below 4

Answer 15

i think...

Answer 16

x-2<3
to solve for x u have to isolate x.
x-2+2<3+2
x+0<3+2
x<5
getting this?

Answer 17

not really :/ to the part x-2+2<3+2 a little

then after that I dont get why x+0

Answer 18

hmm. to isolate x u have to remove anything that is joining to it. in this case u can see that 2 has been subtracted from x. to remove it u have to add 2.
-2+2=0
x+0=0
x-2+2=x+0=x.
getting it? or am I confusing u again?

Answer 19

haha i guess im getting it, very slowly though...

Answer 20

ohhhh i get it, if you have to remove something from x then u change the symbol, right?

so if its x - 2 u have to + 2 to -2????

math is weird :/

Answer 21

yup.
4x. hw will u remove the 4.

Answer 22

u jst have to perform the opposite operation to remove.
opposite of addition is subtraction
opposite of multiplication is division

Answer 23

well 4x is multiplication right? so then it would division :) YAY

Answer 24

nailed it!

Answer 25

yup:) very good:)

Answer 26

haha

Answer 27

so 4 divided by 4 is 0

Answer 28

i mean 1

Answer 29

lol

Answer 30

yup it is 1:)

Answer 31

x + 2 > -2
ready to solve this for x?

Answer 32

hmmmm okay

Answer 33

give it a try then:)

Answer 34

so take away +2... change it into a - ummm 2 - 2 = 0?

Answer 35

yes right:)
so u have x on one side. hw abt the other side of the inequalty?

Answer 36

well i do the same? or do i add the 0 to it?

Answer 37

do the same.
if u add a number to one side u do the same to the other side

Answer 38

well then it would be -2 + 2?

Answer 39

nope:(
to remove +2 from x u subtracted 2. so u have to do the same to the other side

Answer 40

ohh okay then so -2 -2?

Answer 41

-4 then

Answer 42

yup:)

Answer 43

okay then now what

Answer 44

so u have two inequalities . x<5 and x>-4. try to draw the graph for both of them in the same numberline
