Answer:


-J \leq J

Explanation:

Given

Negative integer J

Required

Represent as an inequality of its inverse

The question didn't state if it's additive inverse or multiplicative inverse;

Since the question has to do with negation, I'll assume it's an additive inverse

The inverse of -J is +J

To represent as an inequality (less than or equal), we have:


-J \leq +J

Solving further, it gives


-J \leq J
