Algebra.Com's Answer #332615 by chessace(471)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When one multiplies or divides by negative number, the inequality reverses. \n" ); document.write( "So /(-6) result is \n" ); document.write( "3>=y>=-2 as teacher said. \n" ); document.write( "Note: you also didn't computer the 3rd term well (-2 not -6). \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
