3x > -3 solve the equation

geerky42 (geerky42):

you can start and finish it by divide both sides by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x>-1

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/ineqsolv.htm This may be useful gaze, but fill me in on your steps again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay makes sense ty @geerky42 and thank you to @FibonacciChick666 for that site

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not thanks to me I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you too @orangejuicegood i thanked them because they told me how to do it myself you just solved it for me sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

@geerky42 what about this one? its harder because it has multiple parts would it be like 8P + 2 > 3P - 15 8P+3P>15-2 11P>13?

geerky42 (geerky42):

to get 3P to other side, you just subtract 3P from both sides do the same for 2 So you have: \( 8P+2 > 3P-15\\ 8P + 2 \color{red}{-3P}> 3P \color{red}{-3P} - 15 \\ 8P -3P + 2 > - 15 \\ 8P - 3P + 2 \color{red}{-2} > - 15 \color{red}{-2}\\ 8P - 3P > - 15 -2\\\)

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

treat it just like an equals sign, you know how to do it. The only time it differs is if you are dividing by a negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so would it be P>-2.6 or 2.6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geerky42 @FibonacciChick666

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

show me your steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I just finished geerky's steps above the 8P+2>3P-15 8P+2-3P>3P-3P-15 5P+2-2>-15-2

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

do the last few too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just saw what I did wrong i made the -15 into -13 and not -17 so the answer should be -3.4 5P>-17 P=-3.4

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

can you prove it to me with no uncertainty if asked?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

alrighty then, good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you guys so much :)
