: I need to solve this Inequality in Interval Notation:
: -(4a+6)<3a-2
: Can anyone tell me what in the world I am suppose to do?
First release the parentheses so that your problem now looks like this
-4a-6<3a-2
Then treat the inequality like you would an equal sign and start moving your terms until you have the variable isolated like this:
-6<(3a+4a)-2
-6<7a-2
-6-2<7a
-8<7a
-8/7=a
I think... it's a really good idea to check that.
