Question

What is the solution of 5 - 2x > -3 or -3x + 9 < -6?

Answer 1

@Olive99 Can you help me solve this one?

Answer 2

solve for each one

Answer 3

see < or > as = :)

Answer 4

First, for 5-2x>-3
subtract 5 both side

-2x>-8

and you need to divide both side by -2
P.S. :Because you are dividing both sides by a negative number, do not forget to change or flip the inequality sign. Tht's the rule. I want you to try solving it from here.

For the second one, I would subtract 9 both side and do the same procedures as the above one. Again, when dividing by a negative number, flip the sign. Try it and if you are lost, just hit me up and I will solve it for you. I want you to try it yourself so you can do better on he tests.

Answer 5

5 - 2x > -3 or -3x + 9 < -6
5 - 2x = -3 or -3x +9 =-6 ( does this look easier? )

Answer 6

5 - 2x = -3 or -3x +9 =-6
-2x= -8 or -3x = -15
x = 4 or x= 5 is your results

Answer 7

but don't stop at that

Answer 8

Please do not use the equation sign unless you think you will remember to change it to inequality sign and to flip the sign when dividing by the negative number

Answer 9

nah

Answer 10

but it easier to look :)

Answer 11

but remember to change it back to inequality signs

Answer 12

as you divided with negative numbers :v let's me finish my words women :v

Answer 13

@Olive99 How did you get -2x>-8 ?

Answer 14

you NEED TO CHANGE YOUR (>) OR (<)

Answer 15

5-2x>-3
add 5 both side
-2x>-8
divide by -2 both side
x<4


-3x+9<-6
subtract 9both side
-3x<-15
divide by -3 both side
x>5

Answer 16

oh well, she got it. It just when you divide the negative number ( the -x) you have to change > into < or opposite

Answer 17

unless is +x then you don't have to worry about the changing :)

Answer 18

@Olive99 Thank you for explaining it more! I'm so new to this.

Answer 19

So the solution is x>5?

Answer 20

nah

Answer 21

you have 2 answers since you have 2 different equations :) so 1 of them would be x>5 and the other would be x<4 :)

Answer 22

Oh okay! Thank you!!

Answer 23

ur welcome, and give the nice girl Oliver over there a medal please :3 cuz she's nice :3
