Solve the inequalityr divided by negative 2.5 is less than or equal to 8.7 for r.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable r. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the inequality by -2.5 (since dividing by -2.5 is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, which is -1/2.5 = -0.4):

(r / -2.5) <= 8.7

(-2.5)(r / -2.5) <= (-2.5)(8.7)

r <= -21.75

Thus, the solution to the inequality is r <= -21.75.
