Question

Solve the inequality

-x/2 < 4
A. x <8
B. x>-8
C. x < -8
D. x>8

Answer 1

multiply both sides by 2

Answer 2

What do you get?

-x<?

Answer 3

-8

Answer 4

nope, not quite. It's positive 8.

Answer 5

Now, we need to divide both sides by -1, and when we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, we have to flip the inequality sign. For example, if I have -x>-8
We will get x<8

Answer 6

x>−8
