How do I solve -2x > 6

vodomira [7]

I’m not the best with words but first you would have to treat the greater sign as a = sign. So..
-2x =6
/ /
-2 -2
X = -3
and then you would change the sign to a less than sign because you divided by a negative.

I'm not really looking for an exact answer, I'm more so looking for an explanation on how to do this.

I would have each block be 1/6 of a yard

You could technically have any value you want, but for me 1/6 is easiest because 1/2 and 1/3 will scale up to this like so

1/2 = (1/2)*(3/3) = 3/6

1/3 = (1/3)*(2/2) = 2/6

The diagram below might help if you're still stuck on why I picked 1/6.
