PLZ PLZ HELP ASAP

Answer 1

I replied to your previous question about this :)

Answer 2

i probably didnt see it let me check

Answer 3

yes! its that i need the answer

Answer 4

Well lets do it here. \[\frac{x}{-6}>3=\frac{-x}{6}>3\]
To simplify, isolate x first. Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.

Answer 5

Ok the = sign in between is not practical :) I meant the inequality on the left is equal to the inequality on the right

Answer 6

so x is greater than 3?

Answer 7

Lets do it in two steps. First, multiply both sides by 6:
\[\frac{-x}{6}>3\]
\[-x>18\]

Answer 8

Now, x is not nicely isolated yet, as it has a minus sign in front of it. Multiplying both sides by -1 is the logical next step. Remember though, multiplying both sides by a negative number flips the > sign.

Answer 9

Could you continue from \[-x > 18?\]

Answer 10

Or is it clear? :)
