Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -3

When multiplying an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes. So, $-3\times(- 3)>\frac{x}{-3}\times(-3)$.
$9 > x$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < 9$
(Note: For graphing on the number - line, you would draw an open circle at 9 and a line extending to the left.)
