hartnn · Answer

multiply both sides by -1

then don't forget to flip the inequality sign, because you are multiplying by a negative quantity

anonymous · Answer

by -1? or -2?

hartnn · Answer

by -2, sorry

mathmale · Answer

Now look what happens here:  By multiplying both sides of this inequality by -2, we manage nicely to eliminate fractions from this inequality.  The other action, reversing the direction of the inequality symbol, is standard when solving or transforming algebraic inequalities.

So, what does your inequality look like now?  Hint:  It begins with x.

D?

anonymous · Answer

multiply -2 on both sides because you're trying to isolate x

anonymous · Answer

and like hartnn says flip the inequality because you're multiplying a negative quantity
