\(\dfrac{n}{-15} < 30\) Is that what it looks like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess, it looks good

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\dfrac{n}{-15} < 30\) Multiply -15 to both sides of the equation: x < -450

OpenStudy (igreen):

Sorry that's n < -450..but I don't see the option.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well theres n<450

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yeah but you have to multiply -15 * 30..which is -450..not 450.

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

but is says less that which can mean the same as <

OpenStudy (igreen):

I know that..that's why I put n < -450

OpenStudy (igreen):

Just go with n < 450..maybe it's a typo..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k, thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about n>450?

OpenStudy (igreen):

That's n > -450, which is false..you only switch the sign when you DIVIDE by a negative number..but you multiplied.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k
