$\dfrac{x}{5} \ge -3$

Okay, to get x by itself we have to multiply 5 to both sides.

So what's 5 * -3? @pigglet

anonymous · Answer

just multipy both sides by 5. 
that's all.

@iGreen  -15?

igreen · Answer

Yes, therefore that gives us:

$x \ge -15$

igreen · Answer

5 was being divided by 'x'..so we have to do the opposite and multiply it.
