How to solve this solution set: 2x>-26

Question

i do not recall how to solve for solution sets. all i recall was something about its basically like solving a one/ two step equation just without the equal sign. and just using > < or greater than or equal to and less than or equal to so please HELP!

Please Please Be Sure You Can Explain it To Me Step by Step !! Its for a Midterm Im going to be taking. THANKS!

I would really appreciate it.

Answer 1

yes you solve it just like an =. the only difference is that if you multiply or divide by a negative then you flip the sign

in this case you divide both sides by 2, so you don't flip the sign

2x  > -26

x > -13
