I’m laughing reading the comments! I’m a freshman, and I could’ve solved this when I was 11. And I’m writing the initial equation 9x-7i < 3(3x-7u). On my friend's valentine card. He loves solving math problems, and it'll be cute when he gets to the simplified equation.

Yes it is. When you divide by a negative the sign changes

It is to correct by the fact when you divide or multiply by a negative the symbol is switched.

you guys wasting time just enter the equation in WolframAlpha and see the real deal and stop arguing…

if you divide by -9x,suppose you divide each term in the equation. which i didn’t see that. therefore mathematically your way of saying i love you in math is wrong.

it is correct when you divde by a negative

most trying to correct this are wrong for different reasons. the sign flips because it is to find “i” not “-i” …to get the desired outcome, we have to turn the signs. it is all mathematically correct, and anyone who says otherwise should go learn basic algebra

CORRECTED VERSION

-9x – 7i > -3(3x + 7u)
————————–
-9x – 7i > -9x – 21u
+9x +9x
————————–
-7 > -21u
— —-
-7 -7

Well, your not smart enough, when you divide in an equation by a negative number (or murtiply) if it has , < with the line on top or vise versa you are suppossed to change the way it does (:

3u became greater than i, that’s why > switched to <
to contradict that 9x-7i is not greater than 3(3x-7u)

Technically, “i” doesn’t exist as a number, since it represents the square root of -1.

By: bob

bob — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 04:26:33 +0000

“i” is equal to the sqrt(-1)

you’re stupid. u know? if u divide it with a negative number the sign will change! dang! ur dumb

it is correct because when its negative you have to switch “>” to “<"

By: jamie

It is correct. because dividing by the negative switches the inequality sign.

And it’s completely correct! Some people are just silly.

i is not being used as an imaginary number here. It’s a variable, and you can tell that by them saying ‘solve for i’.

-7i > -21u
i -21
2 < 3

it's right!

10 x 10 = 100 AND 10 + 10 = 100? Well, then… Binary must be twice as good as decimal then.

It also makes hide and seek easier.

No. It is correct. When you divide by a negative the sign ALWAYS switches.

You idiots!! The equation is correct! You freakin’ flip the “>” to a “<" when dividing the -7! OMG!! IT DOESN'T TAKE HARD THINKING TO GET THIS RIGHT PEOPLE!!

AND the "i" is not used as a freakin' imaginary number!! It's used as a variable!! like an "x"!

it is correct because when you divide an inequality by a negative you flip the sign.

yeah actually the switch of the is correct cause when you divide by a negative you have to change it, algebra 101.
