Explain what needs to happen to the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number

When you multiply or divide by a negative, the sign of the inequality flips. For example we have this inequality:

-3x ≥ 6

We would isolate x by diving by -3

6/-3 = -2

Since we divided by a negative "-3", the sign flips from ≥ to ≤

So it would be x ≤ -2 .

Hope the example helped to understand! :)

The inequality itself needs to turn into a negative. This is because if the number is a positive, and there is only one negative involved in the problem, then the whole thing is a negative. However, when there are two positive numbers or two negative numbers involved, then the in-equation will always come out a positive.

Find the perimeter for both questions. Both questions are compound shapes please provide working out.
Marrrta [24]
First one:
You take 10 + 3 =13 then add 9 then 5. That all equals 27. Then you add 1 for the top part that isn’t labeled because it’s 10 in the bottom then 9 at the top which means it’s 1. Then for the side that’s unlabeled it’s 2 since it’s all 5 then the other side is 3. Answer is 31



Second one:

This one is the same as #1. You add 14+6+3+4 = 27. The long horizontal unlabeled side is 11 bc 14-3 = 11. Then the other side 2. Answer is 30.
