Step-by-step explanation:
it's late but I hope it helps :)
imagine that the > symbol is just an equal sign
so for example
x+2>4
will look like
x+2=4
and you solve normally
×=2
now we bring the symbol back
x>2
but if you multiple or divide by a negative the sign flips
so say you have
-2x>4
make it into
-2x=4
solve
x=-2
but instead of >
you put
x < -2
Answer:
x = -9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Divide 9 by -1/3:
÷ = ·
= -27
2. Divide both sides by 2:
2(x - 9) = -27
(x - 9) =
3. Add 9 to both sides:
x =
(or 4.5 if you need it in decimal form)
hope this helps!
