We are given:
There seems to be nothing I can do to simplify this equation. However, I can factor out an since they both have at least an
. Here is what we get:
This is in the simplest form I can get into. I cannot do anything more to simplify this expression. This is your final answer.
Answer:
-2 > -6 . . . or . . . R > S
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plot the temperatures of the two cities on a number line, you see that the temperature for City R is plotted to the right of the temperature for City S. This means the temperature of City S is less than that of City R.
If your inequality relates cities:
S < R or R > S
If your inequality relates temperatures:
-6 < -2 or -2 > -6
