Answer 8

am i right??? @nincompoop

Answer 9

I said NO

Answer 10

everything else was right until the last part

Answer 11

- 3x - 2 < 5

add 2 both sides to help isolate THE X ON ONE SIDE..

- 3x - 2 + 2 < 5 + 2

now divide by - 3 and flip the sign because you're dividing by a negative

-3x/-3 > 7/-3

simplify

Answer 12

The the sign need to be facing x because you divide by a negative.

Answer 13

@nincompoop is it really that hard to interpret what b would be

Answer 14

ohkk.. I understand

Answer 15

or when u feel a lil dyslexic u can try below :

-3x-2 < 5

add 3x both sides

-2 < 5 + 3x

subtract 5

-7 < 3x

divide 3

-7/3 < x

Answer 16

not facing, nomming*

x > -7/3 means the sign is eating the x because x is in greater proportions. :P
