you get it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no not really to be honest.
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
Ok we subtract 6 on both sides b.c when its x+6>15 we subtract but when its
x-6>15 we add so we flip it when its like this
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so we just flip the signs?
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
kIna yea we switch them when its this kind of equation o we get x>9 right?
