Question 146275: pleas help: my math problem is about solving two-step inequalities the problem is -3 -8x > 29-7 i tried to solve it but im not sure how all my paper says is to first undo addition or subtraction second undo multiplication or division pleas help ive bin trying for 3 days now. thank you
also this problemis solveing one step inequalities and the poroblem is -x<6 all you have to do is solve the inequality my answer is -x<6 because it just says to change the inequality symbol if you divide or multiply by a negative and i think it stays the same because theirs nothing to divide or multiply by tell me if im wrong because i relly dont get this THANK YOU!!!!

-3-8x%3E29-7 Start with the given inequality.


-3-8x%3E22 Combine like terms on the right side.


-8x%3E22%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


-8x%3E25 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2825%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C-25%2F8 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the answer is x%3C-25%2F8


Which approximates to x%3C-3.125

-x%3C6 Start with the given inequality.


x%3E%286%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E-6 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the answer is x%3E-6
