Solving inqualities by Using addition and subtraction
PROBLEM 1 6r > 10r - r -3r 6r > 9r - 3r 6r > 6r < -- i'm stuck .. what do i do ? do i cancel them out w/ 6, it will end up r > r, if i cancel out w/ 1, it would be 0 > 0 i'm so confused. So, am i right or wrong ... if wrong, help me please. PROBLEM 2 3.2x < 2x-(9 -1.2x) do i distribute ... 2x-9 and 2x - -1.3x ? PROBLEM 3 3 over 2 q minus 25 over 5 exact greater then 2 q over 4 For this problem, is the answer 5 exact greater then q ? if not, dont tell me the answer. |

Problem number 1 isn't possible, for me that is. But anyway, problem two requires that you distribute the negative sign. So, it's 3.2x < 2x-9+1.2x You always distribute the sign before the paranthesis I think this the equation you need to get to the answer: 6-20q-2q^2>0 But then I'm stuck there, too. Yes, did I say I'm math stupid? |
