Question

9B. Check your work.

Hi. I'm not trying to cheat. I don't understand the equation. If you see another question by me with the same question, I'm sorry. I had hit submit and it wasn't there. Sorry.

Answer 1

15 > 7 - t/3
The method for solving in-equations is the same as that for solving equation, except:
when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign

add t/3 to both sides
t/3 + 15 > 7
subtract 15 from both sides
t/3 > -8
multiply both sides by +3, nothing happens to the > sign

t > -24

Answer 2

Awesome! That makes sense. Thanks!
