The number that makes the inequalities equivalent is 6.
that wrong
To complete the inequality on the​ left, find the number by which to multiply each side of the inequality on the​ right, s≤-2​, in order to obtain the desired inequality symbol and constant.
To complete the inequality on the left, we need to find the number by which to multiply each side of the inequality on the right (s≤-2) in order to obtain the desired inequality symbol and constant.

Since we want the inequalities to be equivalent, we need to multiply both sides of s≤-2 by the same positive number.

If we multiply both sides by -3, the inequality becomes -3s≥6.

Therefore, the number by which we need to multiply each side of the inequality on the right is -3.
