Question 95696
<pre>
Hello out there,I need some help with some problems,
the first one is,Solve the inequality:

{{{18}}} > {{{x/(-3)}}}

Multiply both sides by -3, and since we are multiplying
by a negative number, we turn the symbol > around and
make it < instead:

{{{-3(18)}}} < {{{-3(x/(-3))}}}

Multiply on the left to get -54, and
cancel the -3's on the right, and we
have

{{{-54}}} < {{{x}}}

This can also be written as

{{{x}}} > {{{-54}}}

for if -54 is less than x, then
x is greater than -54


.The next one is,Solve the inequality:

d/-2<-4.


{{{d/(-2)}}} < {{{-4}}}

Multiply both sides by -2, and since we are multiplying
by a negative number, we turn the symbol < around and
make it > instead:

{{{-2(d/(-2))}}} > {{{-2(-4)}}}

Cancel the -3's on the left and multiply on the
right to get 8, and we have

{{{d}}} > {{{8}}}

The third one is,Solve the inequality:

{{{-6h > 36}}}

Divide both sides by -6, and since we are dividing
by a negative number, we turn the symbol > around and
make it < instead:

{{{(-6h)/(-6))}}} < {{{36/(-6)}}}

Cancel the -6's on the left and divide on the
right to get -6, and we have

{{{h}}} < {{{-6}}}

And the last one is, Solve the inequality:

10 < y - 4

Add +4 to both sides:

10 + 4 < y

    14 < y

We do not turn the symbol around unless we are
multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

However this can be written as

     y > 14

because if 14 is less than y, then y is greater
than 14.
