Rule: a Minus power always goes to the opposite place to where it is. If it is in the denominator, it goes to the numerator. If it is the numerator, it goes to the denominator. The minus power does not affect the sign of the expression.

So you are right. The minus power does not give a minus answer.

$\dfrac{y^{-2}}{3y^4}=\dfrac{1}{3y^2y^4}=\dfrac{1}{3y^{(2 + 4)}} = \dfrac{1}{3y^6}$

Solve for x in this inequality. Show all your work and<br> graph your solution.<br> 4(x-3)<2x-4

maw [93]

Answer:

x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in the inequality equation, the terms should be rearranged such that x is on one side and integers are on the other side.

First, expand 4(x-3).

This will obtain:

$4x - 12 < 2x - 4$

Now, shift x terms and integers on each side.

$4x - 2x < - 4 + 12$

After simplifying, it will get:

$2x < 8$

Finally, we can solve for x.

$x < 4$

We can also draw the respective graph (please don't mind my drawings), where the area shaded in green is the range.
