@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Simplify it.. first we add 3x to both sides: 2y > 5y + 3x + 9 Now we subtract 5y to both sides, what's 2y - 5y? @Chiko_1278

-3y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its c? @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we have: -3y > 3x + 9 Now divide 3 to both sides..what's 3 / -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so that gives us -x, and what's 9 / -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that gives us - 3: And our final answer is: y < -x - 3 We switch the sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number.
