Question

Can someone please check my work on this problem. I did it myself I just want to make sure I'm correct.
Problem:
solve -
4x + 6 < −6

My work:
Subtract 6 from both sides.
we now have
4x < −12

Next divide both sides by 4
we now have
x < −3

Now flip the inequality sign.
Final answer is
x > −3

Am I right?

Answer 1

I think you only flip if you divide by a negative

Answer 2

I did I divided -12 by 4.

Answer 3

no you divided by 4, you divided a negative by a positive, but I think you only flip the sign if you divide by a negative

Answer 4

@RyleeC so the answer is x < -13?
