-5/4 + b ≤ -16
b ≤ -16 + 5/4
b ≤ -59/4
FALSE
The main difference is that if you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you have to change the direction of the inequality sign - for example "greater than" would become "less than".
No because eight fifths would become 1 and 3 fifths
well a positive times a negative equals a negative so if the problem was -8 times 9 it would equal -72
Two fifths of 25 would be 10.
You solve an inequality in the same way as you would solve an equality (equation). The only difference is that if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. Thus, if you have -3x < 9 to find x, you need to divide by -3. That is a negative number so -3x/(-3) > 9/(-3) reverse inequality x > -3
The answer to a problem that has a negative number added to a negative number would be negative.It would be a negative
When you have a negative variable in an equation that you are trying to solve for, you multiply each side of the equation by -1. If it is an inequality such as <, you would flip the sign to > and vice versa.
FALSE
The three-fifths compromise helped the south because slaves were counted as three fifths of a person so it would help get more seats in congress. It helped the north because slavery would be banned in 1808.hi
The LCM of 5 and 8 is 40, which in this problem would be the least common denominator.
I would not waste my time, because that's not an inequality.

because if you didn't the inequality would not be true. ex. -3x<15 when you solve it WITHOUT CHANGING THE SIGN, you get x<-5 when you graph that, a possible answer is -7 If you plug that in to the inequality, you get -3(-7)<15 BUT that's not true! so therefor you need to flip the sign direction :)
It depends on the specific inequality. In the simplest cases, it is solved just like an equation; except that you must be careful when multiplying and dividing - if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must switch the inequality sign. For instance, a "less-than" sign would be changed to a "greater-than" sign.
well a positive times a negative equals a negative so if the problem was -8 times 9 it would equal -72
