Question

Do we flip the sign for this inequality solution? 10 - 4x > 12

Answer 1

if you are dividing by a negative number you do switch the sign the answers to this question is x< -0.5 or x< -1/2 in fraction form

Explanation:

10-4x>12

-10 -10 subtract ten

-4x>2

/-4 /-4 divide by negative four

The sign flips because your dividing

x< -0.5

or

x< -1/2

Answer 2

x < -1/2

Explanation:

10 - 4x > 12

Subtract 10 from each side

10-10 - 4x > 12-10

-4x>2

-4x/-4 < 2/-4

x < -1/2
