: : 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
7a > -8
a > -8/7
I am not very good at writing interval notations - Mr.G or Soroban can teach you to do that.
: I think... it's a really good idea to check that.
