Re: Inequalities

That's odd. now i'm confused. And dragon death. Give him a break man. he just came for a little help, which i might be doing since i got a C in math this quarter, and a B- and N last quarter. but inequalities are easy once you start to understand it. I learned them last year (7th. i'm in 8th now).

Lemme try to explain it real quick.
Here's an equation: 7x - 24 > -3
Step 1: add 24 to both sides: 7x-24(+24)>-3(+24) this cancels the 24 on the left.
Step 2: the new equation is 7x > 21. divide both sides by 7.
7x/7 > 21/7. this cances the 7 from the left.
Step 3: simplify: x > 3.

And that my friend, is how the magic is done. Although math is my worst subject (not to mention i hate it), these problems will stay with me forever... *sighs*
