Question

Solve x divided by six is greater than negative three for x.

Answer 1

x/6>-3
x>-18

Answer 2

x/6 > -3

How do you get rid of the 6 in the denominator of the fraction?

Answer 3

Multiply both sides by 6.

Answer 4

x/6>-3
x/6 *6 >-3 *6
x>-18

Everyone says the same.

Answer 5

Yes, so you get x < -18

Becuase when you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must CHANGE THE SIGN of the inequality.

So x < -18

Answer 6

Sorry...my error...we only multiplied by 6, a positive number, so x > -18.

Answer 7

was just about to point that out.
