Question

My algebra teacher told me that sometimes in algebra equations... I think he said if you had to multiply it or something you had to change the way the > or < sign was going... would I have to change the sign in this problem: -40>8b?

Answer 1

you change the signs when you divide by a negative

Answer 2

and multiply by a negative

Answer 3

^^^ and when you multiply by a negative...

Answer 4

but essentially if you think about it, it could be left as multiplying by a negative since dividing is just multiplying by a reciprocal

Answer 5

Ok thank you :)
