−36<−3x−9or
−42≥−3x−9
To solve the inequality −36 < −3x − 9, we first need to isolate the variable x.
Adding 9 to both sides gives us:
−27 < −3x
Dividing by -3 (remember that when you divide by a negative number, you need to flip the inequality sign) gives us:
9 > x
So, x > 9.
To solve the inequality −42 ≥ −3x − 9, we first need to isolate the variable x.
Adding 9 to both sides gives us:
−33 ≥ −3x
Dividing by -3 (remember that when you divide by a negative number, you need to flip the inequality sign) gives us:
11 ≤ x
So, x ≥ 11.
