1 answer

For the first question, the correct responses to fill in the blanks are:

  1. Add or subtract to isolate the variable term first.

  2. Then multiply or divide to solve for the variable. If you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, then reverse the inequality symbol.


For the second question, to solve the inequality \(-5x > 20\):

  1. Divide both sides by \(-5\): \[ x < -4 \]

So the final answer is: x < -4
