@icecreamman

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

add 13 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does -15+-13 equal to?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

u want to get W by it self

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean -15+13 sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

so your answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

\[w >-2\]

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve the inequality for w. 20\[20 \le -5w\] simplify as much as possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20-5? @icecreamman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you have to isolate w by dividing it. wheneer a number is attached to a variable, it means when you have to isolate it, you have to divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you think it would look like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 20 divided by 5 = 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but dont forget the positve/negative signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you have to flip the inequality, do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it positive 4 or nagative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know you flip depending on if it is nagative or postive but i dont know why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you flip the negative sign when its negative, that is always the rule when solving inequalities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is 20/-5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now show the full finished inequality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w>-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@icecreamman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
