According to the properties of inequality, when should the inequality symbol be reversed when solving a two-step inequality in the form below? ax+b > c when a is positive when a is negative when b is positive when b is negative

Answer is when a is negative

To solve inequalities, you are trying to get the X variable by itself with a positive charge of 1. If the coefficient in front of it is negative, you must flip the sign in the other direction.

Example:

-3x < 9

divide each side by a negative 3. This means we have to flip the sign.

x > -3

where r the answers

step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
