Question

6<-3kWhy is the answer -2Shouldn’t it be positive 2

Answer 1

we are given the following inequality:

$6$

To solve for "k" we will divide both sides by -3, since we are dividing by a negative number we will change the direction of the inequality sign, we get:

$\frac{6}{-3}>-\frac{3k}{-3}$

Solving the operations we get:

$-2>k$

Therefore, the solution is the numbers that are smaller than negative 2.
