$$x+9\le-5$$

lynfran · Answer

to find x we have to carry the 9 to the the right side of the inequality by ?

lynfran · Answer

subtracting 9 from both sides

flygirlmandi · Answer

so 9 away from -5 ? and then 9 away from 19 ? im really bad at this stuff, sorry :)

lynfran · Answer

o i see .. i made an error didnt see 19 lol saw the 9 alone... so it shd be $$x+19 \le-5$$

lynfran · Answer

we need to subtract 19 from both sides to find x

flygirlmandi · Answer

so 19 away from -5 and 19 away from 19 ?

lynfran · Answer

that way the 19 from the left side will go to zero leaving the "x" term alone

lynfran · Answer

yep

lynfran · Answer

so we have $$x+19-19\le-5-19$$

lynfran · Answer

19-19 will give 0
whats -5-19?
