-4x <_ 1/3

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

is that <=?

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-4x \le \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]\[x > -\frac{ 1 }{ 12 }\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\large -4x \le\frac13\] divide both sides by -4 and flip the sign (since you're dividing by a negative) \[\large \frac{-4x}{-4} \le \frac{1/3}{-4}\]\[\large x \ge -\frac{1}{12}\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

@Soumyadeep your sign changed magically?

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

How do you divide 1/3 by 4 and get 1/12( i know that sound like a stupid question but i suck at fractions)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jhannybean u explained it :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\large -\frac{1/3}{4}= -\frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{1}{4}\]

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

ok that makes sense, thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}{ 4 }\]\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \div 4\]\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]\[\frac{ 1 }{ 12 }\]
