Is this correct? question: What is the solution of 5 - 2x > -3 or -3x + 9 < -6? my answer: 5 - 2x > -3 OR -3x + 9 < -6 5 - 2x > -3 5 - 2x - 5 > -3 - 5 -2x > -8 -2x/-2 > -8/-2 x > 4 -3x + 9 < -6 -3x + 9 - 9 < -6 - 9 -3x < -15 -3x/-3 < -15/-3 x < 5 The solution to this inequality is x > 4 and x < 5, so the solution is all real numbers.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

when you divide both sides by a negativ number in case of an inequality this sign need chenging invers

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so the first one not is right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

5-2x>-3 add to both sides 2x so what will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

please collaborate 5 > -3+2x than add to both sides 3 and will get 5+3 > 2x 8>2x divide both sides by 2 and will get 4>x hope helped

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so the second one is the same with the first not right hope you can correct it now

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes ?
