solving inequalities

anonymous · Answer

your correct

radar · Answer

Did you end up with:$$-5x \le-45$$

radar · Answer

If so when you divide thru by -5, you must reverse the sense of the inequality.

radar · Answer

If that is the case, your solution is incorrect.

anonymous · Answer

Should I have changed it to  ≥ instead of  ≤ ?

radar · Answer

Yes, if you divide or multiply thru by a negative number, the rule is to reverse the inequality sign.

radar · Answer

If you got. $$-5x \le-45$$$$x \ge9$$

radar · Answer

Because, you divided both sides by a -5.
