OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

if it was just an equals sign, what would you do?

OpenStudy (candy13106):

add 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So on the left side the 2 would cancel out and what would it equal to on the right side?

OpenStudy (candy13106):

yep

OpenStudy (candy13106):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so your equation would then look like what?

OpenStudy (candy13106):

3x/8 >5

OpenStudy (candy13106):

i mean 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good. So then what do you think you do?

OpenStudy (candy13106):

times 8 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right because the oppisite of division (which is the fraction) is multiplication!

OpenStudy (candy13106):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would it equal on the left side??

OpenStudy (candy13106):

56

OpenStudy (candy13106):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
