A 3-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Inequality with entries 8 greater-than 2, negative 10 less-than negative 5, 16 greater-than negative 40, negative 8 less-than 4. Column 2 is labeled Multiply each side by: with entries negative 2, 5, 8, negative 4. Column 3 is labeled New Inequality with entries A, B, C, D. The table gives an inequality and a number to divide both sides of the inequality by. Identify the new, true inequality. A: B: C: D: The inequality symbol is only reversed when dividing by a number.
