2r-9^3-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this supposed to be an equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it's an inequality and i then i have to graph the solution set

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then why doesn't it have > or < ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh then i think you used the wrong symbol. You should use the < or > symbols or they signify a power.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's how it's written in the book

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You had better look again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, that seems incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then I guess if you use it as the center, like an equals, then you could technically solve the equation. But you wouldn't know what your solution set is.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then, if what you have written is correct it is: 2r-729-6= 2r-735

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9^3 is 243

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is... strange. Possibly a typo?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

9^3=9x9x9=81x9=729

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i solved it like this 2r-9^3-6 2r-729-6 2r-735 then got stuck

OpenStudy (mertsj):

There is a part that is missing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's because the probem is definitely not an inequality. without a < or > it has no solution set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would make it 2r=735 and divide by 2?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You cannot change an expression to an equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mking r 367.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why not, you do it to solve for zeros

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its all i can think of

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Just tell you teacher that part of the problem is missing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That seems like the best course of action.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The directions say to solve the inequality and it is not an inequality or an equation. It is an expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks >.<
