Which of the following is an equivalent form of the compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dividing by a negative switches the signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry but i cant read that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example 1 > x+ 1> 3 equals 0 > x > 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example -2 < -3x < 2 (2/3) > x > (-2/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the first example i subtracted 1 from all sides to isolate the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the second example is divided all sides by -3 to cancel the three in the middle and isolate the variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would −2x − 8 < −44 and −2x − 8 ≥ −8 be right
