Multiply each of the following inequality by the number indicated in front of each 10 greater than 15 (-2)

1 answer

To multiply the inequality by (-2), we need to remember that when we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign must be reversed.

The given inequality is: 10 > 15

Multiplying by (-2), we have:
(-2)(10) < (-2)(15)

Simplifying:
-20 < -30

So, when multiplying each term by (-2), we get the new inequality: -20 < -30.
