Question 196828

{{{-3x+16<-6x-8}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{-3x<-6x-8-16}}} Subtract {{{16}}} from both sides.



{{{-3x+6x<-8-16}}} Add {{{6x}}} to both sides.



{{{3x<-8-16}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x<-24}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<(-24)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. 



{{{x<-8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x<-8}}} 




So the answer in interval notation is *[Tex \LARGE \left(-\infty,-8\right)]



So you are correct.



So either they want you to enter the answer in differently (maybe they want "-inf" instead of "-infinity"??) or they have the wrong answer.
