Question

According to the properties of inequality, when should the inequality symbol be reversed when solving a two-step inequality in the form below? ax+b > c when a is positive when a is negative when b is positive when b is negative

Answer 1

Answer is when a is negative

To solve inequalities, you are trying to get the X variable by itself with a positive charge of 1. If the coefficient in front of it is negative, you must flip the sign in the other direction.

Example:

-3x < 9

divide each side by a negative 3. This means we have to flip the sign.

x > -3

Answer 2

Answer:

B - When a is negative
