Question

could some one please explain how to graph  the inequality −8 greater than or equal to −5x + 2 > −38?

anonymous · Answer

your goal here is to graph the values of x that satisfy the inequalty.  do you know how to solve an equation?

anonymous · Answer

kind of

anonymous · Answer

can you solve this

3x-5=11

anonymous · Answer

yes it Is 5.3 I think...

anonymous · Answer

use fractions

anonymous · Answer

3x/3          and       11/3???????

anonymous · Answer

?
3x-5 = 11   =>   3x = 16 (adding 5 to both sides)

3x= 16    =>  x = 16/3  (dividing both sides by 3)

omg oops sorry im stupid

anonymous · Answer

come on... don't you dare do that!

anonymous · Answer

sorry

anonymous · Answer

so then I would divide 16 by 3?

anonymous · Answer

well, solving an inequality is very much the same with only a few differences. 1. suppose a>b, then -a<-b so if we multiply or divide by a negative number, we have to change the direction of the inequality for example... it's true that 1 < 5, but -1 > -5 |dw:1376611321839:dw|

so its 16>3? im very confused :/
