Question

How do you solve `-2x > 1/9`?

Answer 1

Solve for `x` as if you were solving an equation, except that when you divide by a negative number, the inequality is reversed.

Explanation:

`-2x>1/9`

Divide both sides of the inequality by `-2`. This will reverse the inequality.

`x<1/9-:-2/1` =

`x< 1/9*-1/2` =

`x<-1/18`
