Kyanna wrote this statement of a >b then a+c >b+c.is this statement always true.? Can you write a similar statement for subtracting ,multiplying,and dividing both sides of the inequality by c? Explain ..please help me I am so confused I don’t. Understand please help me ASAP thank you so much I really don’t understand please help me I really need help .....35 points is what I put in

see its very simple actually.

we are doing a same operation both side , it nullify the impact.

lets take this example. your mom gives you and your brother 10 chocolate each.

now your mother takes 5 choclate back from each , both of you will be like ok, no issue , mom has taken same number of choclate from both.

if your mom gives back you 10 more chocolates to each of you , both of you will be like super happy bcoz both hav3 same number choclate. so same impact to both.

similar numbers are like that . if c is positive number than it leaves same impact on both side.

so we can say inequality holds true for each case if c is positive.

a + c > b + c

a - c > b - c

a × c > b × c

a / c > b/c

if c is negative then doing addition and subtraction still have the same impact. but multiplication and division leave the impact and change the inequality.

so if c is negative , addition and subtraction still holds the inequality

a + c > b + c

a - c > b - c

division and multiplication change the inequality

a × c < b × c

a / c < b/c

you can assume a = 2 , b = 1 and c = 1 for psitive scenerio and c = -1 for negative scenario.

put it in equation and check if it true or not. play with it.
