8 less than  means -8
product of means multiplication of some things
product of -3 and a number means -3 times a number
is greater than  means >
-26 so
-8+-3 times a number>-26
solve for 'a number'
add 8 to both sides
-3 times a number>-18
divide both sides by -3
remember tha twhen you divide or multiply by a negative, the inequality sign flips
a number<6
so the number is less than 6

The inequality expression would be: -3x - 8 > -26
    
-3x - 8 > -26
 <u>     + 8    + 8</u>
-3x      > -18
<u>÷ -3         ÷-3</u>
    x     >  6   ⇒ becomes x < 6

Notice the change in the inequality sign? This flip is done when the division and multiplication is made by a negative number. In this case, -3 is the divisor.
It is generally done during the first part of the inequality. However, to avoid confusion, flipping the inequality sign is done at the end of the solution.
Assuming: x = 5

-3(5) - 8 > -26
-15 - 8 > -26
-23 > -26

Solve for the indicated variable. Include all of your work in your answer. Submit your solution.
zysi [14]
P=3r + 2s       you need to get all the numbers and variables on the other side                               of the equation so that s is alone. 
P -3r = 2s          Subtract the 3r from both sides. 
P- 3r /2 =s         now divide the whole amount P-3r by 2 and you've got your                                answer!

What are the answer and how do i solve it
Shkiper50 [21]
I'll answer 3 of these questions. 
For future notice, make sure to limit yourself to asking at most, 3 individual questions per question. :)

1) r/10+4=5
Subtract both sides by 4.
(r/10+4)-4=(5)-4
r/10=1
Multiply both sides by 10.
(r/10)*10=(1)*10
r=10

2) n/2+5=3
Subtract 5 from both sides.
(n/2+5)-5=(3)-5
n/2=-2
Multiply both sides by 2.
(n/2)*2=(-2)*2
n=-4

3) 3p-2=-29
Add 2 to both sides.
(3p-2)+2=(-29)+2
3p=-27
Divide both sides by 3.
(3p)/3=(-27)/3
p=-9

Hope this helps.

Answer soon!! Thanks
Ksju [112]

(This is a little difficult but I've got it)

((x - 45)/12) + 20 = 5(32 - x)

(I made the equation a little more complex than I should have but that equation should still work if you were to solve for x)
