Question

The table shows an inequality and a number by which to divide both sides inequality-125> and divide each side by -5

Answer 1

Dividing both sides of an inequality by the same non-zero number preserves the direction of the inequality. So, if you divide both sides of the inequality "inequality-125 >" by -5, the resulting inequality would be:

(inequality-125)/(-5) > (inequality-125)/(-5)

which simplifies to:

25 - inequality > -25 - inequality

Adding inequality to both sides of the inequality gives:

25 > -50

So, the final answer is 25 > -50.
