Question

True or false (if it's false, replace the words in parentheses with the correct answer):

1. the inequality -3 < x is equivalent to the inequality (x > -3)

2. the inequality-2x > 8 is equivalent to the inequality (x > -4)​

Answer 1

1 is true , 2 is false

Explanation:

for equation 2

-2x<8

-2x=8

then we divide both side by coefficient of x which is -2

-2x/-2=8/-2

we will be left with

x= 8/-2

x=-4 which shows that x<-4 and it differs from the second inequality
