Solve by using the multiplication principle
-2x> 1 over 9
I have tried this problem and can get no where with it can someone please help me????
To solve the inequality -2x > 1/9 using the multiplication principle, there are a few steps you need to follow:
Step 1: Flip the inequality sign. When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you need to flip the inequality sign. Therefore, the inequality becomes 2x < -1/9.
Step 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of x. In this case, divide both sides by 2:
2x / 2 < (-1/9) / 2.
This simplifies to:
x < -1/18.
So, the solution to the inequality -2x > 1/9 is x < -1/18.
Hope this helps!
