If the same BLANK number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, the inequality sign is reversed to make the resulting

inequality true.
Mathematics

Maurinko [17]3 years ago

Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well

Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.

This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.

The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast. Write a system of linear equa
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The system of linear equations are y=5+x and  x+y=25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast. Let x represent the number of students who chose breakfast and y represent the number of students who chose lunch.

(50 students picked, 25 picked dinner the rest picked lunch and breakfast)

To find : Write a system of linear equations that represents the numbers of students who chose breakfast and lunch ?

Solution :

The number of students who chose breakfast be 'x'

The number of students who chose lunch be 'y'.

The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast.

i.e. y=5+x

Now, Total student were 50 and 25 picked dinner the rest picked lunch and breakfast i.e. 25.

So, x+y=25

Therefore, the system of linear equations are y=5+x and  x+y=25
