A rectangle has 2 pairs of parallel sides.
Hey there, Byanatwin2!
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate x, like any other equation or inequality.
So, to isolate x we need to divide both sides by
![- \frac{2}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%20)
NOTE: We are dividing by a number less than 0, or a negative number so
the sign > will change to <
Now, to divide a fraction, we need to do the reciprocal and then multiply. The reciprocal of
![- \frac{2}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%20)
is
![- \frac{3}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D)
Then, we multiply 8 times
![- \frac{3}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%20)
and we get a total of -12
So the answer should be x < -12
