Question

Is -97 a solution to the inequality below
-1< s/97 yes or no

Answer 1

To determine if \(-97\) is a solution to the inequality \(-1 < \frac{s}{97}\), we can substitute \(s\) with \(-97\) and see if the inequality holds true.

Substituting \(-97\) for \(s\):

\[
-1 < \frac{-97}{97}
\]

Now calculate \(\frac{-97}{97}\):

\[
\frac{-97}{97} = -1
\]

Now, the inequality becomes:

\[
-1 < -1
\]

This statement is **false** because \(-1\) is not less than \(-1\).

Therefore, the answer is **no**, \(-97\) is not a solution to the inequality \(-1 < \frac{s}{97}\).
