Is about inequalities, I know the rule of flipping the sign if you multiply or divide by a negative numbers but a few examples c

onfuse me.
To make this inequality 5x+2y<14 into the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, please tell me if the sign has to be flipped.
I do it like this
5x+2y<14
y<-5/2x+14/2
y<-5/2x+7
I am not dividing by a negative number but 5 is negative, 2 is positive, should I flip the sign or not?

Answer:

do not flip the sign

Step-by-step explanation:

you only flip when you divide with negative number

however, for you to get the intercepts, you assumed

for y =0

5x +2(0)<14

5x<14

x<14/5<2.8

and also

x=0

5(0)+2y<14

2y<14

y<14/2

y<7

this assumption is because at interception, either x or y will be at origin

If the difference of a number and four is doubled the result is 1/4 less than the number. find the number
sukhopar [10]
The formula is  (2)(n-4) = n-1/4

Mult both sides by 4: 

                         8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.

If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly.  What do you mean by "1/4 less?"

Let's try    (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n.  Then,

2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8.  Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:

n = (5/4)(8) = 10.  Is that what you were hoping for?
