Multiply -5 to both sides..what's \(15 \times -5\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-75 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be B then, @iGreen ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

No..we have to switch the sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right I forgot! so it would be A then right?

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(-\dfrac{t}{5} \ge 15\) \(t \le -7~\Large\color{lime} \checkmark\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

*-75

OpenStudy (igreen):

A is correct!
