first think of the inequality as an equal sign so it is just like a two step equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay . . but how?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just take out the inequality and replace it with an equal sign like so\[-x-3=13+3x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i see i see
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes then you add 3 to 13

which is 16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct then take\[-3x\] and add it to -x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
uhm neggative 4 x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes then divide -4x by 16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4

yes and since you divided by a negative the inequality gets flipped \[x >-4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you so much
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
-x - 3 < 13 + 3x

what is the missing step to that ? o__o
OpenStudy (anonymous):
three plus 13
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you sure? o__o the answer choices are : -4x - 3 > 13
2x - 3 < 18
-4x - 3 < 13
2x - 3 > 18
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it would be the second one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
