anonymous · Answer

misty1212 · Answer

here is what they want you to do
it is wrong

anonymous · Answer

I need help understanding how to get the answers, I don't understand math at all.

misty1212 · Answer

$$-ax+2b>8\
-ax>8-2b\
$$

misty1212 · Answer

that is a start

misty1212 · Answer

then you have to divide by $-a$

misty1212 · Answer

so you get 
$$x$$ on the left and $$\frac{8-2b}{-a}$$ on the right, which is the same as 
$$\frac{2b-8}{a}$$

misty1212 · Answer

you are SUPPOSED  to say 
$$x<\frac{2b-8}{a}$$ even though that answer is wrong

anonymous · Answer

oh okay, yeah you see I don't understand these questions at all.

misty1212 · Answer

no wonder you are confused with this math
you are being taught by idiots who do not know what a variable is

anonymous · Answer

I picked C before, but it said it was wrong.

misty1212 · Answer

it is not your fault, these people at K-12 whatever that is have no business writing math questions

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, and Idk how to solve this question because of the way they wrote it.

misty1212 · Answer

NONE OF THE ANSWERS ARE RIGHT

anonymous · Answer

That is what I am saying, the correct answer isn't there, even my brother said it isn't

misty1212 · Answer

if you give me more information about this system you are using, i will write to them and explain that they are confused

misty1212 · Answer

you cannot solve an inequality with variables like that
you do not now whether to switch the inequality, because you do not know if $-a$ is positive or negative

misty1212 · Answer

write them and tell them that the problem has a mistake in it

misty1212 · Answer

don't bother to try to answer it

anonymous · Answer

No worries, I will talk to my teacher about it, they have made this mistake before and my teacher saw it was. So I will let her know, and thanks!
