Question

write an inequality that can be solved by dividing by a negative number and has the solution x< 1/3.

can someone help?

Answer 1

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality is reversed.

Answer 2

this might help

Answer 3

(3)(-2) < (7)(-2). This is FALSE, because -6 is to the right of -14 on the number line. Hence, -6 > -14.

(3)(-2) > (7)(-2). This is TRUE. So, when we multiply the original inequality by -2, we must reverse the direction to obtain another true statement.
