Question

Given the inequality -8 < 2, explain what happens when you multiply or divide both sides by 2 and what happens when you multiply or divide both sides by -2.

Answer 1

Answer:

if u will multiply or divide by 2 the right side will be greater but on the other hand if u do it with -2 left side will be greater

Answer 2

Answer: When you multiply or divide each side by 2, the signs stay the same. −16 < 4 and −4 < 1. When you multiply or divide by −2, the inequality sign reverses. 16 > −4 and 4 > −1.
