What is the solution set of -9x ≤ 27?

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

first we have to eliminate -9

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

So we have to take -9 and do the opposite of multiplication to cancel out -9 and change 27

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

-9x ≤ 27 so it would cancel -9 x≤-3 (27/-9=-3)

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@partyshotz2409 poor choice of words but anyway @andrejrusa12 the idea is correct to make the coefficient of the variable 1

OpenStudy (triciaal):

when you divide by a negative you change the inequality sign

OpenStudy (andrejrusa12):

Thxs Both of you

welcome remember to make the correction
