How do I do this? http://prntscr.com/a8ds8n

OpenStudy (anitas.):

-_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-13 > -5 x + 2 > -28 multiply each term by minus 1 and then change the > signs to < signs. 13 < -2 + 5 x < 28 add 2 to each term. 15 < 5x < 30 divided each term by 5 3 < x < 6

OpenStudy (anitas.):

so 0.6 and 1.2?

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

i think i know this

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

Ok so you need to solve each inequality: -8 ≥ -5x + 2 -10 ≥ -5x Remember to flip the sign when you are dividing by a negative 2≤x x≥2 −5x + 2 > −38 -5x > -40 Remember to flip the sign when you are dividing by a negative x < 8 So x ≥ 2 and x < 8 Greater than... shading to the right Less than...shading to the left Equal sign... Closed circle No equal sign...Open circle

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

can you graph it?

OpenStudy (anitas.):

wait i am still reading and trying to understand

OpenStudy (anitas.):

ok so now how do i graph it?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You need to simplify the given inequality first. Have you (or has a helper) done so? If yes, type out the inequality or inequalities that you wish to graph.

OpenStudy (anitas.):

these are the inequalities--> x ≥ 2 and x < 8

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Note that the "answer" is not a point; instead, you're graphing sets of numbers that satisfy one or more inequalities.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

x ≥ 2 is an inequality that describes a set of numbers. Translate this symbolic expression into words, please. "The set of all real numbers that ... "

OpenStudy (anitas.):

wait but none of the points are on 2 or on 8... so how do i know which one??

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hold please. Would you please do as I asked: translate that inequality into words.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please try to forget the "points" in your "none of the points are on 2 or on 8... so how do i know which one??" You are not working with individual points; rather, you're working with sets of numbers. Big difference.

OpenStudy (anitas.):

I tried figuring this out and I came up with the last graph. I am not even sure if that is correct. I it??

OpenStudy (anitas.):

Is***

OpenStudy (anitas.):

plz anyone?

OpenStudy (anitas.):

^that does not help for graphing!

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

sorry i was afk

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so... @AnitaS. did "you" ever solve it? what did "you" get?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

namely, "you", as opposed to what others wrote

OpenStudy (anitas.):

yes i solved it. and i got the last graph but i don't know if it is correct. Do you know if i got it right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the last graph... well, what did you get anyway?

OpenStudy (anitas.):

thats what i got

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

from -13 > -5x+2>-28 what "x" ended up being as?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

namely, what did "you" get, as opposed to what others wrote down

OpenStudy (mathmale):

These are the inequalities you've presented: x ≥ 2 and x < 8 The first one translates into English as "the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to 2. Translate the second inequality to English, please. To graph the first one, draw a number line. Darken a circle around x=2. Then draw an arrow from this darkened circle (dot) towards the RIGHT. Show your work in the Draw utility (below).

OpenStudy (anitas.):

The answer was this one----> http://prntscr.com/a8eoee

OpenStudy (anitas.):

ty all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first graph.

OpenStudy (anitas.):

yes
