Solve inequalities by multiplying, or dividing quick check math 6b
1. Solve the inequality: 4x > 12
To solve this inequality, we need to divide both sides by 4:
4x / 4 > 12 / 4
x > 3
So the solution to the inequality is x > 3.
2. Solve the inequality: -2y < 10
To solve this inequality, we need to divide both sides by -2. Remember that when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips:
-2y / -2 > 10 / -2
y > -5
So the solution to the inequality is y > -5.
