Not sure where to start at all…

spark flicker
#

Use similar rules as to how you would solve a normal equation

#

Isolate x and all

#

But if you multiply or divided by a negative number flip the arrow

#

That's basically it for linear inequalities

teal coral
#

im still confused on how to though

jovial perch
teal coral
#

umm

#

so..

#

ig ill group these like terms together?

#

(9x+5x) and (5-7)?

#

like this?

#

is this right?

spark flicker
#

5x-7<5+9x
-5-7<9x-5x

teal coral
#

Ohh

#

Wait why is it -5x?

#

Because it flipped to the other side?

spark flicker
#

Yes

teal coral
#

Oh ok

#

Ok

#

What do I do now

spark flicker
#

Wdym

#

Just solve it

#

-5-7<9x-5x

teal coral
#

So -5-7?

spark flicker
#

-12<4x

#

4x>-12

#

So x>?

teal coral
#

Wait why do we keep the greater/less than sign in the equation?

spark flicker
#

Wdym we're solving for the solution set

#

Ofc we keep the sign

teal coral
#

Ohh ok

spark flicker
#

So what'd you get

#

Wait mb it's 4x>-12

teal coral
#

-12 and uh

teal coral
spark flicker
#

So x>?

teal coral
spark flicker
#

-5-7=-12

#

Yea I had a brain fart fr

teal coral
#

Lol

#

Nah like

#

Why is it

#

4x>-12 when..

#

OHHH

#

Nvm nvm I’m dumb haha

#

I was gonna ask why is it 4x is greater than -12 when 12 is clearly bigger but I forgot abt the negative sign so it means that it’s smaller haha

#

My brain almost lost it

#

Sorry

#

I*

spark flicker
#

Alright then x>?

teal coral
#

How does X have a value?

#

If..

#

Where do we get tht from

#

9x and 5x?

spark flicker
#

No if 4x is greater than - 12

teal coral
#

Isn’t x at default 1?

spark flicker
#

What x is greater than

teal coral
spark flicker
#

Yea

teal coral
#

X> 0?

spark flicker
#

Nah divide by 4 cuh 😭

teal coral
#

Ohh😭😭

#

Divide wht by 4?

#

4x?

#

Or -12

#

Or 0?

spark flicker
#

4x>-12
x>-3

#

Divide both sides by 4

#

Do you have physical math classes

#

Or are yall doing online learning

teal coral
#

Yes…but then again math isn’t my strong suit

#

Physical

#

I forgot everything up from 9-12th grade

#

Kinda ish…

#

But not entirely

#

Idek tbh wht I remember lol

#

Too much info to take in

spark flicker
#

Alright then with x>-3 you can graph the solution set

teal coral
#

Wait hold up

#

Don’t give up on me yet

spark flicker
#

I didn't we just finished the answer

#

Just graph it now

teal coral
#

Ohh okay

#

Umm there must be another way to do it or something

#

Cuz strangely that answer isn’t working

#

Maybe uhh

spark flicker
#

Can I see how you entered it in

teal coral
#

Is there another way it can be written

#

Sure

spark flicker
#

Oh they said to use interval notation

teal coral
#

Yeah

#

Wait this isn’t ..💀 ok I feel real dumb rn

spark flicker
#

They don't teach us interval notation here but uh that's
(-3,inf) I think

teal coral
#

K..I’ll try that

teal coral
#

Yayy! It worked:)

#

Thank god😭🙏

spark flicker
#
