whats the interval for x
its so simple, i just dont know how to show my work
x>= 1, and x < 0

(>= is greater than or equal to)
multiply by x and you got:

I.

-3x < 1
1 <= x

for x >= 0

II.

-3x > 1
1 >= x

for x < 0


from part I, you get x >=1 and x > -1/3, which results in x >= 1
from part II you get x <= 1 and x < -1/3 , which results in x < -1/3
the answer should be:

x >= 1 and x < -1/3



(not 100% sure about this one either actually)
damn its been long since ive done this
