Solve it just like an equation, except when you multiply or divide by a negative, switch the greater than/less than sign. (if its greater, switch to less)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So.... $\"-3x-7\"$ is greater than or equal to 8.
\n" ); document.write( "If you do all the math to get x by itself you end up with x is less than or equal to -5.
\n" ); document.write( "Likewise, for the other fraction, $\"-2x-11\"$ is less than or equal to -31, you do the same thing and get x is greater than or equal to 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now combine the two solutions with an \"or\". (This is called a union)
\n" ); document.write( "So, x is less than or equal tp -5 OR x is greater than or equal to 10. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
