Solve this inequality for x: -46 − 8x > 22 x < 8.5 x < -8.5 x > -8.5 x > 8.5

Mehek (mehek14):

22+46 =?

Mehek (mehek14):

68/-8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

−8.5

Mehek (mehek14):

ok and when you divide or multiply by a negative, you flip the sign so > become <

Mehek (mehek14):

becomes*

@samuel_1072 another way to go about this is treat the inequality like an equals sign and keep track of how many times you multiply by a negative. If you did it an odd number of times, the inequality flips. If even, it stays the same
