Question

Solve the inequality - 9x/11
- 7 < -5.
x < -22/9
x > -22/9
x < 22/9
x > 22/9

Answer 1

Do you know how to do inverse operations?

Answer 2

no i dont think so

Answer 3

ok so you do inverse operations to get x by itself

Answer 4

so u want x by itself so since 7 is negative you would add it to the other side and get -9x/11 < 2

Answer 5

you understand how i got to here?

Answer 6

yes i understand

Answer 7

ok so then you would take the 11 and multiply it to the other side since it was first dividing -9x and you would get -9x = 22 ok?

Answer 8

<*

Answer 9

yes i got that and now do i multiply 9 to each side?

Answer 10

or divide?

Answer 11

its -9 and you would divide since it was first multiplying (remember do the opposite) and whenever u multiply or divide by a negative u flip the < sign in the other direction and you would get x > -22/9 ok? and thats your answer

Answer 12
