Question

Solve the inequality -8r>-12

Answer 1

Answer:r<1.5

Explanation:

First, divide each side by -8 and when you divide by a negative, you have to change the sign so the final answer is r<1.5

Answer 2

`\boxed{\sf \boxed{\sf r < (3)/(2)}\:or\:\boxed{\sf r < 1.5}}`

Explanation:

`\sf -8r > -12`

Multiply both sides by1:-

`\sf \left(-8r\right)\left(-1\right) < \left(-12\right)\left(-1\right)`

Simplify:-

`\sf 8r < 12`

Divide both sides by 8:-

`\sf \cfrac{8r}{8} < \cfrac{12}{8}`

Simplify:-

`\sf r < \cfrac{3}{2}`
