WILL MEDAL AND FAN Solve for m: 18d – 2m + 9k < 5k + 10. m > –7k – 9d + 5 m < –7k – 9d + 5 m > 2k + 9d – 5 m < 2k + 9d – 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first get -2m by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 9k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep and 18d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... so 5k = 9k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, 5k-9k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what I meant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you should end up with -2m < -4k - 18d + 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the last step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, keep the 10 on the right side. We need to get rid of the -2 on the m. how would we do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, by what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you divide the whole right side by -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide each individual terms by -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 -18 10 -2 -9 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, what happens when you divide two negative numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh lol positive for all but -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when you divide by a negative number the inequality sign changes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case, it goes from < to >

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does the final inequality look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant a or c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct
