You flip the signs when you are dividing by a negative value.
-2x+3>15
-2x>15-3
-2x>12
x<12/-2
x<-6
Now to test this
Try putting x in the original equation when it is -5.
-2(-5)+3>15
10+3>15
13>15
This is false because our answer says x is less than -6.
Now any value less than -6 will work so let's go with -7.
-2(-7)+3>15
14+3>15
17>15
This result is True.
Hope this helps out!

How to solve the problem 3.2d-4d=2.3d+3
Liula [17]
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3...simplify by combining like terms
-0.8d = 2.3d + 3....subtract 2.3d from both sides
-0.8d - 2.3d = 3 ...simplify again
-3.1d = 3...divide both sides by -3.1
d = 3/ -3.1
d = - 0.97

or
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3....multiply the equation by 10, gets rid of the decimals
32d - 40d = 23d + 30....subtract 23d from both sides
32d - 40d - 23d = 30....simplify
-31d = 30...divide by -31
d = -30/31
d = - 0.97

vfiekz [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that

X_i = \left \{ {{1, If , Ith, room, has,exactly, 1,man, and , 1,woman } \atop {0, othewise} \right.

hence,

x = x_1 + x_2+....+x_m

now,

E(x) = E(x_1+x_2+---+x_m)\\\\E(x)=E(x_1)+E(x_2)+---+E(x_m)

attached below is the complete solution
