The main difference is that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you need to simultaneously invert the inequality - for example, a less-than sign becomes a greater-than sign. Example:

-2x < 15

Multiplying by -1/2 (equivalent to dividing by -2):

x > 7.5

What is the solution for the in equality 3x-11?

That is not an inequality. An inequality must have &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;=.


How does the solution to an inequality differ from the solution to an equation?

The solution to an inequality generally is a region with one more dimension. If the inequality/equation is of the form x &lt; a or x = a then the solution to the inequality is the 1 dimensional line segment while the solution to the equality is a point which has no dimensions. If the inequality/equation is in 2 dimensions, the solution to the inequality is an area whereas the solution to the equality is a 1-d line or curve. And so on, in higher dimensional spaces.


What is the answer to245k squared minus 20?

This is an expression, not an equality (or inequality). It, therefore, cannot have a solution.

Is 4 a solution to the inequality x4?

x^4 is not an inequality. (An inequality has a "bigger than or equal to/less than or equal to/less than/bigger than" sign involved. I.e not an "equals" sign, since this would be an "equality"). But x^4 is not an equality, nor an inequality.

How do tell the solution of an inequality?

Substitute the values of the variables into the inequality. If the inequality is true then they are a solution, if not, they are not.Substitute the values of the variables into the inequality.

Which will solve N in 8xN plus 40 equals?

Nothing will solve an expression. You need an equation (an equality or an inequality) beofre a solution of any kind is possible. Tha means you need something on both sides of the equality (or inequality) sign.


How is the solution set of the sentence described x plus 57?

There is no solution set. x + 57 is an expression, not an equality, nor even an inequality. An expression CANNOT be solved!


Can equality or inequality define the interval on a number scale?

An equality defines a specific point (or points). An inequality can define an interval.
