well wat is -6*-7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is negative seven x minus six less than 43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can't do that? What? @bjizllw Sweetheart, just solve it like you would -7x-6=43.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but im trying to see what is x so i mean i put negative seven minus six less than 43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You add the 6 to both sides, and then divide by the -7. When you divide by a negative, you flip the sign, so it goes from < to >.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It wouldn't be the same answer if you multiply the -7 and -6, because that's not multiplication. That's subtraction. The way you put it, he would get 42x<43..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you get what I said @bjizllw ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -7xminus 6 less than 43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're just saying the problem. Do you have to find x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative 7x minus 6 less than 43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know. That's just the problem. I told you how to solve it up there. ^ You add the 6 to both sides, and then divide by the -7. When you divide by a negative, you flip the sign, so it goes from < to >.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so after i add i got negative 1x minus 12 >43 @This_Is_Batman
