How do you solve the following problem.

2g > -.4
.5 = -.5

2g over .5 is greater than or equal to negative .4 over .5 Then why did you type -0.5 above?

Please use the [Preview] button to proofread your posts, before clicking the [Submit] button.

BtW: We can type ratios using the forward-slash character.

2g/0.5 >= -0.4/0.5

Please clarify the given inequality.

2g/.4 >= -.4/.5

2G over .4 (greater than or equal to> negative .4 over .5

2g/.4 >= -.4/.5 Now you've changed the left denominator from 0.5 to 0.4. (Is this yet another typographical error?)

The LCM of the latest two denominators (above) is (0.4)(0.5); therefore, multiplying both sides of the inequality by this LCM will clear both fractions.

Next, simplify what's left on each side, and you're done.

Please show your work, if you would like more help with solving the given inequality for g.
