first step to move 2b to the right side how would you do that ?? do you know

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

yes now its 8-2b

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

-ax + 2b > 8 - 2b - 2b

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right 2b and negative 2b cancel out do you know what is your next step ??

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

I think its -ax > 8-2b but idk whats next no

Nnesha (nnesha):

-a and x are multiplying on the left side you have to solve for x so do opposite to move -a to the right side opposite of multiplication ?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ahh so maybe idk I'm confused x > 8-2b/-a?

Nnesha (nnesha):

when you multiply or divide by negative sing you must flip sign

Nnesha (nnesha):

inequality*

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ohhh so x> 8-2b/a?

Nnesha (nnesha):

u didn't flip that

Nnesha (nnesha):

did you understand what i mean?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ohhh x < 8-2b/-a ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):
