Question

Explain how solving -2x < -10 is different from solving -2x = -10.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the inequality if you solve the equation you would get x > 5 (as the inequality is flipped when diving by a negative number) as an answer. Which literally means that for -2x < -10 to be true the value of x has to be greater than 5 and can be any number.

But in the case of the linear equation

for -2x = -10 to be true the value of x has to exactly equal to 5 and there are no more possibilities.

Answer 2

Answer:

1st question is x<5, 2nd question is x =5
