Question

-(3x+5)<=-13

Answer 1

\(-(3x+5)\le-13\)

First we would want to distribute the negative.
\(-3x-5\le-13\)

Then we would want to add 5 to both sides.
\(5+(-3x-5)\le(-13)+5\)
\(-3x\le-8\)

Then we would divide by negative 3.

\(\large{\color{red}{\text{you flip the inequality symbol.}}}\)

\(x\ge\dfrac{8}{3}\)

Answer 2

so is \[\frac{ -8 }{ -3 }\]

Answer 3

right, but when you have two sides of the fraction as negatives, the whole fraction becomes positive :)

Answer 4

\(\dfrac{-8}{-3}=\dfrac{8}{3}\)
\(\dfrac{\cancel{-}8}{\cancel{-}3}=\dfrac{8}{3}\)
