Question

Write an inequality with the same meaning as the following 16 > x

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  17 > x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add or subtract any number from both sides to get an equality with the same meaning:

  17 > x+1

  0 > x-16

You can multiply or divide by any number (except division by 0) to get an equality with the same meaning. If the multiplier (or divisor) is negative, the comparison changes direction.

  -16 < -x

  48 > 3x
