Question

-50<4x-14<-26

Answer 1

you need to make it into 2 inequalities

Answer 2

-50<4x-14 and 4x-14<-36

Answer 3

no, not really
you need to add 14 and then divide by 4

Answer 4

I did that and I got 9>x>-3, but it says its wrong? What did I do wrong?

Answer 5

Well i was taught to separate it into two different equations..

Answer 6

-50 < 4x -14 < -26
+14 +14 +14

-36 < 4x < -12
/4 /4 /4

-9 < x < -3

Answer 7

She said it was wrong though

Answer 8

Our solutions are different.

Answer 9

Answer 10

And she has the less than and greater than reversed.

Answer 11

thank you!

Answer 12

you are welcome.

Answer 13

well its supposed to be reversed because when you divide you have to reverse the signs

Answer 14

No. Only when you multiply or divide by a NEGATIVE you need to reverse them.

Answer 15

That only applies when you are dividing by a negative number

Answer 16

oh that makes more sense
