I'LL GIVE A MEDAL!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! >:( Solve. g divided by 4 minus 9 is greater than eleven g is greater than one-half g is greater than 5 g is greater than twenty g is greater than eighty

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

why do they give multiple choice for these type of questions?? the whole point is to learn how to apply algebra anyway, just plug in each option for g to see which one works

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

is it g/(4 - 9) > 11 or (g/4) - 9 > 11

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

it has to be 2nd option

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

(g/4) - 9 > 11 (add 9 to both sides) g/4 > 20 (now multiply by 4) 4g > 80 (now divide by 4) g > 20

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

do you understand ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

The first thing I did was add 9 to both sides to get g/4 by itself. This cancelled the -9 on the left side. I then was left with g/4 > 20. I multiplied the inequality by 4 and was left with 4g = 80. I then divided by 4 to get g by itself.
