solve -4x + 15 >59

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first question and you're a level 53 nice. i can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're going to want to isolate the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at it this way -4x + 15 = 59

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-4x + 15 >59 \]

OpenStudy (travisbrown372):

x<-11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're going to want to subtract the 15 from both sides

OpenStudy (travisbrown372):

x<-11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you'll end up with -4x > 44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4x+>44 divide both side with -4 x>-11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no direct answers please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you have to get rid of the negative from the left. you divide both sides by -4 and when dividing by a negative in an inequality you have to switch the sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now it will be x < 44/-4 which turns out to be x < -11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok , you want to find the value of x first you move 15 to the other side to get -4x>44 now you get rid of -4 by dividing to get x>-11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope i was able to help, and remember you always want to remember that dividing or multiplying by a negative makes the sign switch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is x < -11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any time man.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@RagingSoulGoku i said dont give direct answers

OpenStudy (travisbrown372):

x<-11
