To solve our equation we first need to set out our equation, -15x – 3 > 42. Next, we add 3 to both sides of our equation, -15x - 3 + 3 > 42 + 3 = -15x > 45. Then, we multiply both sides by -1(Or in other words, reverse the inequality), -15x * -1 > 45 * -1 = 15x < -45. And then, we divide both sides by 15, 15x/15 < -45/15 = x < -3. Finally, we have our answer of x < -3.
The blank is 123 because 32/41=96/123. your multiplying 32 by 3 to get 96. That means you have to multiply the bottom by 3 too. 41 multiplied by 3 is 123. And 123 is the blank.
