Question

if you were to solve the inequality 2/7x < 5 , you would multiply both sides by 7/2? True or false

Answer 1

false

Answer 2

This is a trick question.

You actually would divide 2/7 to both sides.

But dividing by a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by its reciprocal.

So you can multiply 7/2.

The answer is True.
