Question

-3x greater than sign to the left24

Answer 1

\[-3x >24\]

Answer 2

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to solve the inequality?

Answer 3

yeah then I have to graph it

Answer 4

would\[x <8 or x >8\] it be

Answer 5

Neither. But you are close! Remember, you are dividing both sides by a negative number. What do you think it is now?

Answer 6

oh -8

Answer 7

Yep! And do you think it should be > or < ?

Answer 8

When you divide do you change the direction of the sign? if so \[x=<-8\]

Answer 9

And should the dot on the line be solid or hallow

Answer 10

That's right. But you switch the sign because you divided by a negative number. If you were dividing by positive 3, you wouldn't need to switch it.

Answer 11

Wb the dot on the line?

Answer 12

The dot on the line is hollow because -8 is not part of the solution.
If the equation was x (less than or equal to) -8, then it would be solid.
Do you understand?

Answer 13

I do thank you!

Answer 14

No problem! :)
