ok what do you think we do first @JupiterJones

2. anonymous

get x by itself?

3. jagr2713

Goo so what do we do?

4. anonymous

add +5 to -5 and to the other side

5. jagr2713

Nope are trying to get x by it self so we Subtract 13 from both sides -7-13 ≥-5

6. anonymous

o ok

7. jagr2713

so we get -20 ≥-5x so now what do we do?

8. anonymous

9. jagr2713

So we divide right so what do we get?

10. anonymous

≥-5x

11. jagr2713

a negative divided by a negative is a ?

12. anonymous

positive

13. jagr2713

Good and the x is by its self so we have x≥4 but when dividing my a negative number, do we keep the sign or flip?

14. anonymous

flip

15. jagr2713

Good so we have as the answer?

16. anonymous

x<4

17. anonymous
