\(\dfrac{n}{-15} < 30\)
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

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

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.
