Question 98483This question is from textbook
: I'm having trouble with half of this problem.
+%283%2F8%29x+%3C+-6+ or +5x+%3E+2+
I think I have the answer for the second part of the question. You would have to divide both sides by 5 which would make the answer +x+%3E+2%2F5+ But I can't figure out how to do the first part with that fraction in there. Please help me solve this problem!! This question is from textbook

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+%283%2F8%29x+%3C+-6+ Start with the given inequality

+cross%28%288%2F3%29%283%2F8%29%29x+%3C+-6%288%2F3%29+ Multiply both sides by 8%2F3 this will eliminate the entire fraction on the left side


x+%3C+-48%2F3+ Multiply


x+%3C+-16+ Divide

So the first part of the solution is x+%3C+-16+ and you have the second part correct
