When we multiply or divide by a negative to solve an inequality, it's the same as multiplying or dividing by a negative to solve a regular equation! Just remember to multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity, then simplify! Remember, when multiplying or dividing by a negative YOU MUST FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN.

You flip the inequality.
Example: if x > -y and you divide both sides by (-1) then you flip the inequality so: -x < y

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The area of ΔABC= 6.667 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is similar to ΔMNO.

The scale factor from ΔMNO to ΔABC is 3∕2

the area of ΔMNO is 10 square units,

The area of ΔABC/the area of ΔMNO

= 2/3

The area of ΔABC/10= 2/3

The area of ΔABC= 2/3 * 10

The area of ΔABC= 20/3

The area of ΔABC= 6 2/3

The area of ΔABC= 6.667 square units
