Question

The product of -2 and a number is at most 10. Find the possible numbers. n ≤ -5 n > -5 n < -5 n ≥ -5

Answer 1

n ≥ -5

Explanation:

Answer 2

n ≥ -5

Explanation:

"The product of -2 and a number is at most 10" translates into
`-2n \leq 10`. Solve for n.

`-2n \leq 10\\n \geq -5`

When you divide by a negative, the sign changes.

This means any number greater than -5 is a possible number.
