Question 1036032: The sum of a number and 81 is greater than the product of-3 and the number . What are the possible values for the number? Answer by Aldorozos(172) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X+81 is greater than negative 3X now we have to solve this inequality
X+81>-3x we add positive 3X to both sites of the equation. This makes the right side of the equation to become zero. We end of having 4x+81>0 we in thi case 4x <-81 We divide both by -20. This
4X>-81 divide. By 4 you will hav x <-2.0
