You can
put this solution on YOUR website!
Split it into two parts.
allows you to divide both sides by k and you have a false statement:
; so you must expect that
. k can be any value as long as it is NEGATIVE.
The other part is
,
.
The compound inequality must have the parts of the solutions which are true for both parts. The parts of their solutions in common is
.
