anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

what do you think the answer is?

anonymous · Answer

I know its not -7 1/2 ..but I honestly have no idea what the answer could be

anonymous · Answer

Do you know what to do first?

anonymous · Answer

it's similar to r - 2 >= -1 solve for  r >= 1

anonymous · Answer

so it would be the first answer.. |dw:1393883500173:dw|1 1/2 ?

anonymous · Answer

in this example  that i show above if u were to plug in say 0 to the equation for r then u would get an invalid answer such as -2 is greater than or equal to -1 which is false this can not happen for that equation to be true.

anonymous · Answer

yes but the reason ur sign doesn't change is because u didn't divide by a negative number

anonymous · Answer
