-2x-4 > 8
-2x > 12
x < -6

Wait, what? Why did I reverse the direction of the greater than sign to a less than sign? Well, when you divide a negative number in an inequality problem, you need to reverse the sign. I hope the actual solving is obvious. If it's not, just ask for clarification!

Find the common denominators. for the miles 5 and 3 go into 15. so 2/5 times 3 is 6/15. and 2/3 times 5 is 10/15. for the hours 5 and 9 go into 45. 1/5 times 9 is 9/45. and 2/9 times 5 is 10/45. so Susan ran 6/15 of a mile in 9/45 of an hour. and Kim ran 10/15 of a mile in 10/45 of an hour.

so Kim ran 3 miles in an hour. Susan ran 2 miles in an hour.
