Question

11b-12<-100

Answer 1

Answer:

ok wait which symbol? this (<)?

well it should stay the same since -100 is greater than the 11b-12

LHS=RHS

11b÷11b b must cancell b also do the same on -12. -12÷11 will give u a lesser value compared to -100

prove me wrong

Answer 2

Answer

b<-8

It's going to stay the same. when you are doing inequalities, you only flip the sign if you are driving by a negative number. for this question you are not going to divide by a negative number, so the sign stays the same. let's get to the problem.

First, rewrite the problem.

11b-12<-100

secondly, add 12 to both sides and subtract.

11b-12<-100

+12. +12

thirdly, your equation is going to be like this.

11b<-88

next, divide both sides by 11 and your answer will be

b<-8

since 11b was positive, you will not change the sign but if 11b was going to be a negative number, then you were going to change the sign to >. hope this helps.
