When we have an inequality or equality, we need to isolate the variable in order to find its value.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "When we add or sustract from both sides of the inequality, the inequality symbol remains the same.
\n" ); document.write( "However, when we multiply or divide a NEGATIVE value on both sides, the inequality symbol changes direction.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "It also changes direction if we decide to swap one side for the other.
\n" ); document.write( "Here are a few examples:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Sum operation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"20%3E-2%2Bk\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"20%2B2%3Ek\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"22%3Ek\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you decide to swap sides, then you'd say: \"k%3C22\" to maintain the same result.
\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "Negative Multiplication operation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"30%3E-%28p%2F4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30%2A%28-4%29%3Cp\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-120%3Cp\" ...same as to say... \"p%3E-120\"
\n" ); document.write( "Positive Multiplication operation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"30%3Ep%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30%2A4%3Ep\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"120%3Ep\" ...same as to say... \"p%3C120\"
\n" ); document.write( "===============================================
\n" ); document.write( "Now, let's work on your problem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3%3E-3%2Bk\" ...add 3 on both sides to leave k alone, you get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3%2B3%3Ek\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0%3Ek\" ...same as to say... \"k%3C0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Done! Keep posting problems if you need more help. :)
