OpenStudy (ajspeller):

Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality. Then divide both sides by -2. **Remember to turn the inequality around. It will become greater than or equal to.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

its b then? @ajspeller

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

At first I thought it was A

OpenStudy (ajspeller):

What happens when you divide negative numbers ?

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

they become positive

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

Okay I got A for this one did I get it right? @ajspeller

@ajspeller

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

Do I switch symbols for all problems like this?

OpenStudy (ajspeller):

Okay, so the answer cannot be A or B.

OpenStudy (ajspeller):

Only switch the symbol when you divide or multiply by a negative number.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

is the answer C?

OpenStudy (ajspeller):

No, because the inequality symbol has to be turned around.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

Oh yeah because I didn't divide or multiply by a negative number so it's D? @ajspeller

OpenStudy (ajspeller):

You did divide by a negative number. -2 -18/-2 = 9

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

No I meant the other question I posted

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

@ajspeller

OpenStudy (ajspeller):

The answer to the 2nd question is not D. You have to add 8 to both sides.
