Answer:

The correct option is option;

A. Flip

Step-by-step explanation:

When both sides of an inequality is divided by a negative number, it changes the sign of both numbers while their magnitude remain the same;

Therefore, if the right hand side of the inequality is lesser than the left hand side, when the signs of the left and right hand sides of the inequality changes after a division , by a negative number, we have;

The smaller right hand side of the inequality will then have a lesser negative magnitude than the left hand side of the inequality with a higher negative value and the left hand side (with the higher negative value) becomes lesser than the right and therefore, the symbol (sign) of the inequality is flipped

Therefore, when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you need to <u>flip</u> the inequality symbol.

Solve the equation 17=-13-8x with steps
Elan Coil [88]
17 = -13 - 8x .....add 13 to both sides
13 + 17 = -8x
30 = -8x...now divide both sides by -8
-30/8 = x...reduce
- 15/4 or -3 3/4 = x <===
