Here is an inequality-2x>10 list three values for x that would make this inequality true? Also how are the solution to the inequality-2x 10 different from the solution -2x>10? Explain your reasoning

Question

List three values for x that would made this inequality true

Answer 1

Hey Zulenny,

Ok, for operations with inequalities remember they are just like equations except when we multiply or divide by a negative.

As an equation -2x=10 is easily solved by dividing both sides by -2. we get X = -5.

As an inequality -2x > 10 when we divide both sides by -2 we have to flip the inequality symbol to get

x<-5. So your solution to the first question for the values for X is any three numbers less than -5.

Say, -6, -7, and -8 for example.

Hope this helps.

Have a good night and stay safe.
