To solve the inequality \( 56x \leq -10 \), we can divide both sides by 56, assuming it's positive, without reversing the inequality sign.
1. **Juana's claim** that the inequality symbol must be reversed because of a negative sign is incorrect for this particular operation (dividing by a positive number). The sign only needs to be reversed when you divide or multiply by a negative number.
2. **Anish's claim** that either the multiplication property or division property of inequality needs to be applied is correct. We should divide by 56 to isolate \( x \):
\[
x \leq \frac{-10}{56} = -\frac{5}{28}
\]
3. **Giselle's claim** that the inequality symbol must stay the same is correct in this context because we are dividing by a positive number.
So, **Anish** and **Giselle** are correct. The combination of people that is correct is Anish and Giselle.
