The quotient of a number is at most -6. Write an inequality to represent this sentence

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

hmm...are you sure there isn't anything missing in this question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my bad

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):

you could at least have a statement as let's say the quotient of a number and 6.. if this is all the problem say then if x is the quotient, \[x \le -6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The quotient of a number and 8 is at most -6. Write an inequality to represent this sentence

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

oh okay. So what is a quotient? @Schoolninja7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dividing

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

right. So if the number. "n", is divided by 8, we would have this: \(\Large\frac{x}{8}\) Make sense so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its x/8 <=-6

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

you mean \(\Large\frac{x}{8}\) \(\le\)-6 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

correct!!! \(\color{green}{\checkmark}\)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

nice job c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i upvote you guys thanks

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

just click best response for the person who you think helped most you can also fan people, and they can help you in the future

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me with another problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3(x+1)+2<11\]

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

yeah sure. do you want to solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve the inequality then i graph the solution on a number line i kno the number line is going to be an open circle going towards the left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait dont solve that im sorry i switched up the problem i need helpwith i already solved this one and came u with 2

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

just solve like a normal equation: 3(x+1)+2\(\gt\)11 3x+3+2\(\gt\)11 3x+5\(\gt\)11 -5 -5 ----------- 3x\(\gt\)6 /3 /3 x\(\gt\)2

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

oh whoops lol alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5t-2(t+2)\ge8\] is the roblem same rules

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

try to solve it based on how I solved the last problem. Remember, forget about the inequality; treat it like a normal equation and solve for t.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

@Schoolninja7 hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t=0.57 but it feels wrong

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

hmmm...yeah that's not correct. Here's the process.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

5t-2(t+2)\(\ge\)8 1.) first, distribute! 5t-2t-4\(\ge\)8 2.) then, add like terms 3t-4\(\ge\)8 3.) then, add 4 to both sides 3t-4\(\ge\)8 +4 +4 ------- 3t\(\ge\)12 4.) Lastly, divide 3 on both sides 3t\(\ge12\) /3 /3 ----- x\(\ge\)4

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Does that make sense?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

@Schoolninja7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea tryna figure out how you got to it one min im stuck on the first distrubting part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see what i did rong i distrubuted wrong thanks
