Can someone please help me out, im not asking for an answer. solve the inequality. graph the solution. 5r+4 ≤ 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you want to have only r on one side. subtract 4 from both sides and then divide both sides by 5. what do you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r \ge 1/5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the graph will look like : |dw:1378306008085:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the circle of 1/5 is full since r is also equal 1/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see, thank you so much :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we would have r > 1/5 the circle was blank

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm looks like you switched the inequality for some reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 is correct !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you started with \[5r+4\leq 5\] then you should end up with \[r\leq \frac{1}{5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

havent noticed sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"less than or equal to" keep the inequality the same (unless you multiply by a negative number, then switch it)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh I though you where supposed to, I got what I did wrong your only supposed to switch with a negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer r<= 1/5 the graph will be :

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1378306304230:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again, im sorry for that. i havent noticed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1378306331410:dw|
