Solve the inequality 2/3x> -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First of all you have the state that x cannot be =0 as that would mean dividing by 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Once that is done you can multiply through 3x to get \[2>-18x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now there is one more step to divide by -18, but be careful here as the inequality will change when u multiply/divide by a negative number!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-\frac{1 }{9 }<x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how you can check this solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And for the solution you still need to mention that x cannot be 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Insert -1/9 into the inequality and you should get -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And that works out fine so I have found your solution

ok thank you
