Answer 1

First Question: X - 3 > - 9
I First Used Addition To Add 3 to both sides
X > -6
And that's how I got my answer Is It Right ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

correct!

Answer 4

Second Question -2x + 1≤ - 11
Then I Used Subtraction to subtract one from both sides
-2x ≤ -12
Then I Divided negative two to both sides
x ≤ 6

Answer 5

Am I right?

Answer 6

close..but remember, when you divide/multiply by a negative number, it changes the inequality sign.
-2x + 1 <= -11 (subtract 1)
-2x <= -12 (divide by -2 and change the inequality sign)
x >= 6

Answer 7

when you divide by a negative quantity you flip the sign

Answer 8

oh

Answer 9

so it would be x is greater then or equal to 6

Answer 10

YES

Answer 11

okay here is another
2(x +5) > 8x -8
Then I subtracted 8x from both sides
-6x + 10 > -8
Then I added 10 to both sides '
-6x > 2
Then I divided -6 from both sides
x > -3
And sense I divided a negative you flip
x < -3

Answer 12

-6x +10 >-8

then you need to SUBTRACT

Answer 13

10 FROM BOTH SIDES

Answer 14

oh yeah I did I just accidentally wrote add did I get it right

Answer 15

-6x > -18
x < -18/-6
x< 3
YES

Answer 16

kay

Answer 17

2(x + 5) > 8x - 8 -- distribute
2x + 10 > 8x - 8 -- subtract 8x
2x - 8x + 10 > -8 -- subtract 10
2x - 8x > -8 - 10 -- combine like terms
-6x > -18 -- divide by -6 and change the sign
x < 3

Answer 18

-2(x -3)≥ 5 – (x + 3)
Distributive property
-2x + 6 ≥ -5x + 3
add 5x to both sides
3x + 6 ≥ 3
subtract six
3x ≥ -3

Answer 19

the right side is incorrect
5-(x+3) = 5 - x -3 = ...

Answer 20

-2(x - 3) >= 5 - (x + 3) -- distribute
-2x + 6 >= 5 - x - 3
can you take it from here

Answer 21

No I understand where I went wrong but i don't know how to work with the right side

Answer 22

if it helps, if you just have a sign before the parenthesis with no number, you can put 1 as the understood number.
For example :
-2(x - 3) >= 5 - (x + 3)
if it helps you can do this..
-2x + 6 >= 5 - 1(x + 3)...then just distribute the -1 through the parenthesis

Answer 23

-1x + 3

Answer 24

what is -1 * 3 ??

Answer 25

oppss lol -3

Answer 26

exactly...-1x - 3....you can continue to leave the -1 beside the x if you want to. It will not change your answer

Answer 27

okay so..
-2x + 6 >= 5 - 1x - 3
then do I add -1 x to both sides

Answer 28

yes, you can

Answer 29

okay
then It will look like this
-1x + 6 >= 5 - 3

Answer 30

Then I subtract 5 - 3?

Answer 31

-1x + 6 >= 5 - 3
you can subtract 5 - 3 now

Answer 32

but do not forget about your 6

Answer 33

-1x + 6 >= 5 - 3 -- combine like terms
-1x + 6 >= 2 -- then subtract your 6 from both sides

or you can do it this way
-1x + 6 >= 5 - 3 (subtract 6 from both sides
-1x >= 5 - 3 - 6 -- now combine like terms

you can proceed either way

Answer 34

but do not forget that we want x positive...remember when dividing/multiplying by a negative, the inequality sign changes

Answer 35

-1x >= 14
-1x < = 14

Answer 36

5-3-6 = -4 actually

Answer 37

-x > = -4
x < = 4

Answer 38

oh kay

Answer 39

help.... 10 < –3x + 1
Idk how to do this

Answer 40

subtract 1 from both sides and what do you get ?

Answer 41

oh sorry had to do the laundry 11 < -3x

Answer 42

10 < –3x + 1
10 -1 < -3x
9 < -3x
....
