Question

alones · Answer

ugh...9x >-36 how do i need to find solution

astrophysics · Answer

divide by 9

alones · Answer

i got -9

alones · Answer

no i mean -4

anonymous · Answer

Basically you have to do the same thing to both sides because you need to get the x by itself. So in this case divide by 9:
9x>36
9/9x>36/9
x>4

anonymous · Answer

Wait it was -36 sorry, so you're right x>-4

Please dont give direct answers. Let @AloneS do some work

alones · Answer

geez thank you!! i'll use your steps with my every problem

anonymous · Answer

@AloneS  did get the answer on their own.... and no problem!

kendricklamar2014 · Answer

Step 1. Divide both sides by 9: $$\frac{ 9x }{ 9 } > \frac{ -36 }{ 9 }$$
$$\frac{ 9 }{ 9 } = 1x = x$$
$$\frac{ -36 }{ 9 } = -4$$

$$Answer: x > -4$$

Do you understand @AloneS

alones · Answer

yep they did help both :) thank you..but still so whydo i have to multiply rather than just add like i did

kendricklamar2014 · Answer

What do u mean Multiply? I divided everything....

alones · Answer

nope sorry i was confused .. so last lesson i had was adding and this lesson is multiplying and but i have to divide

kendricklamar2014 · Answer

All u needed to do was divide 9/9 which equals 1. But, 1x is the same things as x. -36/9 =  -4. Do you understand?
