Question

Directions: Follow the instructions for the following inequalities. Will give brainlist!


1. 4<7 Multiply both sides by 7, then by 6, then by 3, then by 10

2. 11>-2 Add 5 to both sides, then add 3, then add (-4)

3. -4<-2 Subtract 6 from both sides, then 8, and then 2

4. -8<8 Divide both sides by -4, then by -2

5. Write a short explanation of the effects of the above operations. Did this affect the inequality sign? Was it still true? Why or why not?

Answer 1

1) 4<7

×7 ×7

28<49

×6 ×6

168<294

×3 ×3

504<882

×10 ×10

5040<8820

2) 11>-2

+5 +5

16> 3

+3 +3

19>6

+-4 +-4

15>2

3) -4<-2

-6 -6

-10<-8

-8 -8

-18<-16

-2 -2

-20<-18

4) -8<8

÷-4 ÷-4

2<-2

÷-2 ÷-2

-1< 1

5) ~The affect of the inequality sign didn't change. If you add or subtract the same positive or negative number to both sides of an inequality or an equation, the inequality stays the same. If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality or an equation by the same positive number, the inequality stays the same. This is because when manipulating inequalities there are rules this if a < b then a + c < b + c so we get a new number that replaces a and b yet the inequality symbol stays the same so a still is smaller than b.

Hope this helped you- have a good day bro cya)
