PROBLEM

Inequalities

Method

When solving linear inequalities, change or switch the sign of the inequality when you divide or multiple with negative.


\begin{gathered} - \\ -5b\text{ }\ge\text{ 20} \\ \text{Divide through by -5} \\ (-5b)/(-5)\text{ }\leq\text{ }(20)/(-5) \\ b\text{ }\leq\text{ -4} \end{gathered}
