Question

Solve this inequality.

-3x - 2 > 7

Answer 1

just isolate x

Answer 2

don't care about the sign, if you are diving by a negative then you flip the sign around.

Answer 3

1. add 2 to both sides
2. divide both sides by -3 and change inequality sign because when dividing/multiplying by a negative, changes the sign

Answer 4

so just get x along by adding 2 to 7

Answer 5

ha, what she said.

Answer 6

-3x - 2 > 7
+2 +2 To cancel
________________________
-3x>7

-3x/-3 7/-3 Because you need to get x alone, so you divide by the coefficient

x< -2.3

You flip the sign because you divided by a negative number.
