You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign will flip.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you will go from $\"-3r%3E15\"$ to $\"r+%3C+-5\"$ after you divide both sides by -3. Notice how the > changes to <\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is $\"r+%3C+-5\"$ . This means you'll have an open circle at -5 and shading to the left. \n" ); document.write( "
