@Queen_Bee1 The first thing to do is to simply replace the inequality < with and normal =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am going to make a guess that this is \[\large -\frac{2}{5}x-9<\frac{9}{10}\] is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok if i was going to do this i would get rid of the annoying fractions by multiplying (carefully) both sides by \(10\) and start with ' \[-4x-90<9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have a choice add \(4x\) and get \[-90<4x+9\] subtract \(9\) and get \[-99<4x\] then divide by \(4\) and get \[-\frac{99}{4}<x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can start with \[-4x-90<9\] add \(90\) get \[-4x<99\]divide by \(-4\) and change the inequality to get the same answer \[x>-\frac{99}{4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks alot
