Question 54216: 1/3x<-2

I assume that you probably need to graph this as well as solve it:
%281%2F3%29x%3C-2
3%2A%281%2F3%29x%3C3%28-2%29
%283%2F3%29x%3C-6 3/3=1
highlight%28x%3C-6%29
This means that x are all numbers less that, but not equal to -6. Because of this, some books graph with an open circle over the -6 and others use a ) over the -6 (I'm using a parenthesis because that's all I've got) in both cases, you would shade all the numbers less than -6, (to the left of -6).
