Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
\frac{x}{-3} < -1
answer attempt 2 out of 2
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation: x < -3
number line:
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -3

When multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, \(\frac{x}{-3} < - 1\) becomes \(x>3\) after multiplying both sides by \(-3\).

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x > 3\)
For the number line: Place an open circle at \(3\) (since \(x
eq3\)) and draw an arrow to the right (because \(x\) is greater than \(3\)).
