Any body have answers to solve inequalities by multiplying or dividing quick check. Math B 6.2

Answer 1

Here are some steps to solve inequalities by multiplying or dividing:

1. Identify the inequality sign (<, >, ≤, ≥) and make sure the inequality is in the form of "variable <, >, ≤, ≥ number."

2. Determine if you need to multiply or divide to solve the inequality. If the coefficient of the variable is a negative number, you will need to multiply or divide by a negative number to change the sign of the inequality.

3. Perform the multiplication or division operation on both sides of the inequality. Remember to keep the inequality sign in the same direction.

4. Simplify both sides of the inequality to solve for the variable.

5. Check your solution by substituting the variable back into the original inequality and ensure it satisfies the inequality.

For example, let's solve the inequality 3x < 15 by dividing by 3:

1. 3x < 15
2. We need to divide by 3 to solve the inequality.
3. (3x)/3 < 15/3
4. x < 5
5. Check: If x = 4, then 3(4) < 15 is true. So, x = 4 satisfies the inequality.

Follow these steps to solve inequalities by multiplying or dividing.
