what are the solution of the inequality?check the solutions 4x+6<-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you at least guess how you can solve for the variable 'x'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you do with the number 6's?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to try to get 4x by it's self, to do so.. What do you have to do to both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not mulitiply divide sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wrong. Give you a hint, you will take something from one side, and do it to the other side. 6<-6 To get that 6 away from the 4x side, you have to do what? Keyword: Away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, so the problem should look something like this.. 4x+6<-6 -6 -6 This cancels out the 6 over by 4x and leaves you with that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With what* sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer i come up with is x<+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You forgot the 4 infront of that X. Now you want to X by it's self to find out what X is right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, it would be 4x<-12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the option of the answers none of them have the 4 infront the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand this, what do you have to do to get x by it's self so it shows x<(number here)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First off, what are your options anyhow? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.x<-3 Bx>-3 C.x>-6 D.x<+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so how would you solve 4x<-12 ? Do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divid 12 by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, sorry. 4x<-12 4x divided by 4. That cancels the 4 beside the X so we can get just "X" like we wanted. Then what you do to one side, you must to to the other side so let's take -12 divided by 4. Tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, so now that you divided by a negative, you must do what to the "<" sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

turn the sign to a greater than sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct! Great job Devonhinds =]! So your final answer would be x>-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anytime :) Glad I could help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
