Question

3 Which best represents the solution for theinequality shown?2-355AXS-4BX2-4CXS-16D x>-16

Answer 1

We have an inequality that we have to rearrange to find its solution:

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(-2)-3\le5 \\ (x)/(-2)\le5+3 \\ (x)/(-2)\le8 \\ (x)/(-2)\cdot(-2)\ge8\cdot(-2) \\ x\ge-16 \end{gathered}`

NOTE: when multiplying by a negative number both sides of the inequality, the order of the inequality signs has to be inverted.
