solve. -r/4 < 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. r ≤ –32 B. r ≥ –32 C. r ≤ –2 D. r ≥ –2

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

You want to get the r isolated on one side of the equation (in this case, the left side is easier). How can you get "rid of" the divide 4 on the left side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Hint: What is the opposite of dividing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times

@Joel_the_boss @chosenmatt

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

so that means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times each side by 4?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

yup

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-r/16 < 32?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now whsat

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

wdyt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it b?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@chosenmatt

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

yea maybe what do u think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes b or a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@chosenmatt please tell me the answer

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

thats against the CoC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it a?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

maybe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it b?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

maybe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it c?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

If you have \(\large -\frac{r}{4}<8\) And then multiply both sides by 4... \(\large -\frac{r(4)}{4}<8(4)\) The fours cancel out... \(\large -r < 32\) You want to get rid of the negative sign in front of the r. How do you do that?
