How do you solve an equation if you have simplified and are left with a negative variable?
the negative variable would mean the opposite of. so therefore if u have -x= 4 ur answer would be the opposite of four which is negative 4.
Solve this equation negative 9 minus 7x equals -5?
x=2 because 9-(14)=-5
How do you solve an inequality when using the distributive property?
You solve an inequality in the same way as you would solve an equality (equation). The only difference is that if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. Thus, if you have -3x < 9 to find x, you need to divide by -3. That is a negative number so -3x/(-3) > 9/(-3) reverse inequality x > -3
What are the rules of multiplying negatives and positives?
positive X positive = positive positive X negative = negative negative X positive = negative negative X negative = positive
How do you solve x minus 4 equals negative y?
given: x - 4 = -y or, -y = x - 4 or, y = -(x - 4) or y = -x + 4 or y = 4 - x i.e. for x > 4, the equation x - 4 = -y is true.
