Question

solve linear inequalities
7-4/5x<3/5

Answer 1

you solve them just like how you solve with the "equal" sign. except that when you divide by negative (-) to get your x, you are going to need to flip the sign from < to >

Answer 2

whats the deal with multiplying the whole equation by 5?

Answer 3

similarly when you're given is > then it would have to be flipped to < and the same follows for ≥ to ≤ and ≤ to ≥

Answer 4

you do that to get rid of the denominator, basically to make it easier for you to work with whole numbers, unless you feel like solving them with fractions.

Answer 5

you should have encountered the same with the equation, like I said earlier. :)

Answer 6

you can multiply it by 5.....then your left with whole numbers. But don't forget what nincompoop said, when dividing by a negative, the sign changes.

Answer 7

do you want to go over this inequality?

Answer 8

I would rather have you take a shot at it first to see where you're struggling.

Answer 9

nincompoop, sorry

Answer 10

do i multiply by 5 first?

Answer 11

nin are you here?

Answer 12

sorry I was doing something
