i done past tha question

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

\(10x<-17 \) \(\dfrac{10x}{10}<\dfrac{-17}{10}\) \(\dfrac{\cancel{10}x}{\cancel{10}}<\dfrac{-17}{10}\) \(x<\dfrac{-17}{10}\) Inequalities are only different from equalities in one way. If you multiply or divide through by a negative, the direction of the inequality changes. Other than that, you solve them the same way you would algebraic equalities. Oh, and when someone puts nasty drawings in, just report them and ignore it. Do not give them the satisfaction of a reply. They are just trolls and deserve no notice other than to be removed from the site.
