Solve for x: −6 < x − 1 < 9 5 < x < 10 −5 < x < 10 −5 > x > 10 5 > x > −10

itzpxyton:

im not the best when it comes to inequalities

Shadow:

\[-6 < x - 1 < 9\] Just one to every section, isolating x

itzpxyton:

what do you mean?

Shadow:

You do, -6 + 1 x - 1 + 1 9 + 1 For each section

itzpxyton:

-5 x 10

itzpxyton:

do i keep the signs the same and not change them?

Shadow:

\[-5 < x < 10\] Yes. The only real thing you need to remember for inequalities is that if you ever multiply the inequality by -1 (or just any negative number), it changes the direction of the sides.

itzpxyton:

B.

Shadow:

For example: \[2 < -x < 3\] I multiply by -1 \[-2 > x > -3\]

Shadow:

I mean to say signs*, zzz

Shadow:

B is good

itzpxyton:

thx

Shadow:
