Why are inverse relationships between operations used to solve two step inequalities?

Mathematics

zhenek [66]3 years ago

Answer:

The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. To isolate the variable, we must reverse the operations acting on the variable. We do this by performing the inverse of each operation on both sides of the equation.

Reverse addition and subtraction (by subtracting and adding) outside parentheses. Reverse multiplication and division (by dividing and multiplying) outside parentheses. When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, flip the inequality sign. It does not matter if the number being divided is positive or negative

It's necessary to apply inverse operations on both sides of the equals signs so that you can solve for the variable and balance the equation.

Multi-step inequalities are solved using the same processes that work for solving equations with one exception. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol. (Much like when you divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must flip! Here's why: When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side!)

There are 42 students 21 are in 7th grade 14 are in 8th 7 are in ninth whats the probability of an eighth grader winning
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The probability of an eighth grader winning is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of students = 42

Number of students in 7th grade = 21

Number of students in 8th grade = 14

Number of students in 9th grade = 7

Probability of event = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

So,the probability of an eighth grader winning= \frac{14}{42}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

Hence The probability of an eighth grader winning is 1/3
