Counterexamples John says that if one side of an inequality is 0, you

Answer with explanation:

Mathematically , john's statement is wrong which is:→ if one side of an inequality is 0, you  don’t have to reverse the inequality symbol when you multiply or divide  both sides by a negative number.

Counterexample :Consider an example

→ 4x  ≥ 0, where x is a positive integer.

If we multiply or divide both sides by , -1, the inequality would result into

→ -4x ≤ 0

This transformed inequality is valid only when ,x is a Positive Integer.Here after multiplying by negative integer ,if we will not change the inequality sign, it will be an invalid Inequality.

He may be wrong. If he was wrong, this is the example. 

0 < -10x

If we were to divide both sides by -10, even though the answer would be undefined or just end up as zero, it is just a common rule to always flip the sign whenever you divide or multiply by a negative. 

Don't quote me on it, but I think I'm right.

Hope this helped!

What fraction is equivalent to 20 in simplest fraction form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

I believe its 20% or 20/100 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i mean, 20% is 20/100 or 1/5. the number already a fraction. the denominator is out of 100.

20% = 20/100

then you change it to simpliest form.

20 / 20 = 1

100 / 20 = 5 = 1/5
