inequalities using division

Answer 1

To translate:

  "x divided by negative 5 less than or equal to 5"

     x      /         ( -5 )                    ≤                 5

 

To solve:

     x/(-5)   ≤   5                  (rewritten)

         x    ≥  -25       (multiply both sides of the inequality by -5;

                           this reverses the sense of the inequality)
