How do you solve d/8%26lt;-3?
d/8%26lt;-3

multiply each side by 8



d%26lt;-24
Reply:=%26gt; d%26lt; -3*8

=%26gt; d%26lt; -24
Reply:d/8 %26lt;-3



which means



d%26gt; -3/8
Reply:d/8 %26lt; -3



d %26lt; - 24 {multiply both sides by 8}
Reply:You get rid of a fraction by multiplying by its inverse. The inverse of 1/8 is 8. Whatever you do to one side you must do to another. So:



d/8 %26lt; -3

d %26lt; -24



The sign does not change because you did not multiply or divide by a negative.
