  • 2. 

    X / 9 > 10

    • X < 90

    • X > 90

    • X > 1.11

    • X > 10

    Correct Answer
    A. X > 90
    Explanation
    The correct answer is x > 90 because when dividing x by 9 and comparing it to 10, if the result is greater than 10, then x must be greater than 90.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    X / 10 > 3

    • X > 0.30

    • X < 30

    • X > 3

    • X > 30

    Correct Answer
    A. X > 30
    Explanation
    The given inequality states that x divided by 10 is greater than 3. To solve this inequality, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 10 to isolate x. This gives us x is greater than 30. Therefore, the correct answer is x > 30.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    X / 9 > 9

    • X > 1

    • X > 81

    • X > 9

    • X < 81

    Correct Answer
    A. X > 81
    Explanation
    The given inequality states that the value of x divided by 9 is greater than 9. To solve this, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 9, which gives us x > 81. This means that x must be greater than 81 for the inequality to hold true.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    X / -5 > -3

    • X < 15

    • X < 0.60

    • X > -3

    • X > 15

    Correct Answer
    A. X < 15
    Explanation
    The given inequality states that x divided by -5 is greater than -3. To solve this inequality, we can multiply both sides by -5, which reverses the inequality sign. This gives us x < 15, meaning that x is less than 15. Therefore, the correct answer is x < 15.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    X / -3 > -8

    • X < -8

    • X > 2.67

    • X > 24

    • X < 24

    Correct Answer
    A. X < 24
    Explanation
    The given inequality states that x divided by -3 is greater than -8. To solve this inequality, we can multiply both sides by -3, but since we are multiplying by a negative number, the inequality sign will flip. Therefore, we get x < 24 as the correct answer. This means that any value of x that is less than 24 will satisfy the inequality.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    X / -3 > 2

    • X > -6

    • X < 2

    • X < -6

    • X > -0.67

    Correct Answer
    A. X < -6
    Explanation
    The given inequality states that x divided by -3 is greater than 2. To solve this inequality, we need to multiply both sides by -3 (since we are dividing by a negative number). This reverses the inequality sign. Therefore, we have x < -6, which means that x is less than -6.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    X / -9 > 4

    • X > -36

    • X < 4

    • X > -0.44

    • X < -36

    Correct Answer
    A. X < -36
    Explanation
    The correct answer is x < -36. By dividing both sides of the inequality by -9, we can isolate the variable x. When dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped. Therefore, x > -36 becomes x < -36.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    When you multiply both sides of any inequality by a negative number, you need to ________ the inequality symbol.

    Correct Answer
    flip
    Explanation
    When you multiply both sides of any inequality by a negative number, you need to flip the inequality symbol. This is because multiplying both sides by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality. For example, if the original inequality is "x > 5" and you multiply both sides by -1, you would get "-x < -5". So, flipping the inequality symbol is necessary to maintain the correct relationship between the two sides of the inequality.
