TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

lol ok then :)

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

It does not matter who answers

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Ok so your question is \(\Large \frac{4}{3} x-14 \ge 6\)

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

yes

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Well we are subtracting 14. So what would we do o get it on the other side?

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

ADD

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

correct.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

4/3 > 20

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Correct!

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So now we are multiplying 4/3. What is the opposite of multiplying?

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

divide

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

My calculator doesn't include fractions

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

but when I do I get 6.33 repeating

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Its ok. but yes we divide.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

wait I got 1.6666666667

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So we should get: \[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x \div \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }= 20 \div \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

right

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

And do you know how to divide fractions? without a calculator..

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

ehh

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

Pa academics just gives us textbooks then we read them thats all I didn't learn correctly

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

USing this formula: \[\frac{ a }{ b } \div \frac{ c }{ d }= \frac{ a }{b } \times \frac{ d }{c }=\frac{ ad }{ bc }\]

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

so 20/1? as a fraction?
