Question

A number g multiplied by −8  is at least  14 .

Answer 1

-8g is greater than or equal to 14

Answer 2

g ≤ -7/4

Explanation:

A number g multiplied by −8 is at least 14, that is -8g is equal or greater than 14. Symbolically, we can write it in the following way.

-8g ≥ 14

We can solve this inequation for g. When we divide by a negative number, we have to reverse the symbol of the inequation.

g ≤ -14/8

g ≤ -7/4
