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

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?

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?

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

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?
