Question

ative Number
A 3-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Inequality with entries 8 greater-than 2, negative 10 less-than negative 2, 15 greater-than negative 5, negative 7 less-than 4. Column 2 is labeled Multiply each side by: with entries negative 2, negative 4, negative 3, negative 5. Column 3 is labeled New Inequality with entries A, B, C, D.

The table gives an inequality and a number to multiply both sides of the inequality by. Identify the new, true inequality.

A:
B:
C:
D:
Multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number
the inequality symbol

Answer 1

A: -16 < -4
B: 40 > 8
C: -45 < 15
D: 35 > -20

Multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number reverses (flips) the inequality symbol.
