Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first problem is true because with multiplication it doesn't matter which order it is in.
The second problem is false because you will get a different quotient depending on which numbers are on which side of the equation.
Answer:
x >4 or x < -12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
An absolute value has 2 solutions, a positive and a negative. Remember to flip the inequality for the negative solution
|5x-4|>16
5x-4 > 16 5x-4 < -16
Add 4 to each side
5x-4 +4> 16+4 or 5x-4+4 < -16+4
5x > 20 or 5x < -12
Divide each side by 5
5x/5 > 20/5 or 5x/5 < -12/5
x >4 or x < -12/5
