OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good job... all are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All are correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that mean? I didn't do all of those. One of them is correct, the rest aren't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i misread the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you look at it and tell me what you think..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i solve i get -30 > k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that gives me A .. do u agree?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm, recall that with inequalities, when you multiply/divide/exponentialize by a NEGATIVE value, you have to \(\bf \text{flip}\) the sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then A?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf 10 > \cfrac{k}{-3}\\ \textit{times -3 on both sides}\\ -3 \times 10 > \cfrac{k}{-3} \times -3\\ -30 \qquad \color{red}{\square ?} \qquad k\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

we used a -3, thus a negative value, thus our > will turn to a <

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A looks good then :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes
