@kevindragonlord

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X = x > -5

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Well this is basically solving for x: \[-2x = 10\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

You just need to do the division property of equality.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk that

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

In orde to solve for the value of x.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

*order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup idk that

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Well you just do the inverse of multiplication which is division. So what is 10 / 2 ? That will give you the value of x since you will be isolating it.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

10 / -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm i figuered it out

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Wait. Remember that you are dividing a negative by a negative, the quotient will be positive.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Therefore, it will be 5 not negative five.
