let's combine like terms. -5v > 35. If you have -3v and you take away 2v, then you get -5v.

OpenStudy (emmamink):

Now, negative times negative equals positive, so we know v has to be negative

OpenStudy (emmamink):

Ok, and it has to be more than 35.

OpenStudy (emmamink):

Actually, let's divide everything by -5 to isolate v.

OpenStudy (emmamink):

Now we have our answer, v > -7

OpenStudy (emmamink):

V can be anything as long as it is bigger than -7.

Simplify the inequality to get this \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{-5v~>~35}\) Now we need to divide both sides of the problem by -5 \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{\dfrac{-5v}{-5}~>~\dfrac{35}{-5}}\) \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{v~<~\dfrac{35}{-5}}\) So what is \(\color{#20bd23}{35\div -5}\)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

You switch the sign, because you are dividing a negative :)
