2. meggy

its 5

3. kugler97

i am not smart at all Grace trust mehh!! :P lol

4. rizwan_uet

look here -1/3y<-8 multiply both sides b 3 what you get??

5. rizwan_uet

*by

6. GraceJaylene

-24?

7. rizwan_uet

yes -y<-24 now removing the -ve sign will invert this inequaility do it

8. GraceJaylene

i dont understand :(

9. rizwan_uet

if you will remove this -ve sign you will get y>24 you saw the difference???

10. GraceJaylene

you are confusing me more! D;

11. rizwan_uet

no dont confuse

12. GraceJaylene

@A.Avinash_Goutham help me D: this is confusing me

13. rizwan_uet

look here if 3>2 then -3<-2 thats it

14. rizwan_uet

now call the police even if you are not getting it. LOL

15. GraceJaylene

i dont have the phone to call the police because I STILL dont unsterstand >.<

16. rizwan_uet

where you are not getting the point

17. GraceJaylene

it is confusing! im stupid okay!

18. rizwan_uet

make something simple for you

19. rizwan_uet

-5<-4 you agree with this???

20. GraceJaylene

idk! i dont understand it at all! :((:(:(:(:(

21. rizwan_uet

ok see this in mathematics if two quantities are unequal then we use > or < sign now < is a sign for " less than " and > is a sign for "greater than" now there are two kids whose ages are 10 and 12 years respectively therefore you say 10 < 12 means 10 is less than 12 got it

22. GraceJaylene

yea

23. rizwan_uet

ok but the things changes when we talk about negative numbers in general we say 6 is greater than 5 means 6>5 but when negative numbers come then -6 is less than -5 means -5 is grater than -6 now in mathematics we write it as -6<-5 thus you saw that 6>5 means 6 is greater than 5 -6<-5 means -6 is less than -5 you got it or still confused

24. GraceJaylene

i got lost...

25. rizwan_uet

my 12 years old brother interpret it as follow. he says if you have 10 dollars in your pocket and i have 20 dollars then i m better than you. means 20>10 but if you have borrowed 10 dollars from someone and i have borrowed 20 dollars then you are better than me means -20<-10

@AravindG

27. AravindG

:) you need my help ? happy to hear that

28. AravindG

first tell me is y in denominator ?

29. GraceJaylene

its the same as the pther ones we did... im on the same test

30. AravindG

y in denominator ?

31. GraceJaylene

$\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }$ y <-8

32. AravindG

that doesnt answer my question !!

33. AravindG

i cant still fogure out hwere y fits in

34. GraceJaylene

-1 over 3y <-8

35. rizwan_uet

|dw:1359131038944:dw|

36. GraceJaylene

my friend said she thinks y>-24

37. AravindG

ok multiply by 3y on both sides

38. AravindG

do what i said :)
