Solving inequalities

Solve it as if you're solving an equation but every time you multiply or divide by a negative number flip the sign

[cold olive]

so the -3/2 would turn into -2/3?

you multiply both sides of the equation by -2/3 yeah to cancel it

but then you have to switch the inequality sign

because youre multiplying by a negative

[cold olive]

this is what confuses me im more of a visual learner

im going to write it out

thats not really gonna help

first of all

can you solve regular equations?

like if it was just an equal sign would you be able to solve it

[cold olive]

When I plugged it in, it turned into this

[cold olive]

how did the answer become this from that?

so from here, itll turn into 28/9?

if simplified?

I’m sorry but what’s this method?

thank you

[cold olive]

okay im picking up on it, do you mind creating a problem like that one kinda i can work on myself?

just to make sure i get the concept?

[cold olive]

yeah im so confused

im also kind of confused by the question still

would you mind if you could break it down step by step, im so sorry if im not comprehending it the way i need to im just so far behind

i really want to learn this

do you mind if i get into detail?

Okay, I know that the problem which started off as: 5- 3/2x >= 1/3 isn’t going to help me solve for x I have the get the 5 on the other side, I don’t generally understand why 5 has to move from the left to the right but I moved it there. So now the equation is 3/2x >= 1/3-5

in any case, for an equation we want the variable by itself with its coefficient if it has one?

or if its alone we still want it by itself?

Is this how I start off writing this?

Okay then would I subtract 5 on both sides?

What is bedmas

Oh the x+5 is together therefore I wouldn’t subtract it since it’s not a 5 alone

Therefore it wouldn’t take it to 0 since it’s x+5 not x/5+5

What’s the difference between them being in parenthesis and them not being in them?

Then we would multiply 5

On both sides I’m guessing?

Yeah lol I’d rather like get the concept instead of an answer

Which question the one you gave me or

The one I sent here

Okay

yes i would love that

i think i kind of got it

since this is alot of i think process of elimination

i did it

yes okay i see

can i show you when i do it this way what i got and ill explain why

its night time, and my walls are really really thin so i think it'd be best to do so tomorrow around middle of day im central time

This is when I multiply the top by 5 idk if that was right

I thought multiplying the bottom since it’s division would take it out
