1 answer

To determine which inequalities are equivalent to \( r > -11 \), we can manipulate the given options to see if they can be derived from that base inequality.

  1. Multiply by 3:

    • If we multiply \( r > -11 \) by 3, we get: \[ 3r > -33 \]
  2. Multiply by -3:

    • If we multiply \( r > -11 \) by -3, we need to flip the inequality: \[ -3r < 33 \quad \text{(which is equivalent to \( r < -11 \) when we divide by -3)} \]
  3. Rearranging:

    • We can also rearrange \( r > -11 \) to get: \[ -r < 11 \quad \text{(flipping both sides of the inequality)} \]

Comparison with Given Responses:

Now let's compare these derived inequalities with the responses:

  1. \( 3r > -33 \) (Equivalent)
  2. \( -3r < 33 \) (Equivalent)
  3. \( -r < 11 \) (Equivalent)

Summary of the equivalent inequalities:

The equivalent inequalities to \( r > -11 \):

  1. \( 3r > -33 \)
  2. \( -3r < 33 \)
  3. \( -r < 11 \)

Therefore, the correct equivalent inequalities to \( r > -11 \) are:

  1. \( 3r > -33 \)
  2. \( -3r > 33 \) (which is incorrect, it should be \(-3r < 33\))
  3. \( -r < 11 \)

Make sure to double-check the correct format of the inequalities before final selection.
