okay so that's not right

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

set up the equation \[9x-3\ge 51 \]

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

dont forget the negative in front of the 9

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

add 3

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

-9x>=54 divide by -9, switch the sign

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

you get x <=-6

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

whenever you divide x as a negative, you switch the sign
