Problem

Answer the following with reference to linear inequalities in one variable: a. (i) State the rule that describes what happens to the direction of an inequality when both sides are multiplied or divided by a negative real number. b. (ii) Write any inequality involving xx that is true. Multiply both sides by −4-4 and explicitly show how the inequality symbol changes. Verify your final statement with one numerical value of xx that satisfies it. c. (iii) Solve the inequality −3(2x−5)>9-3(2x-5) > 9. Express the solution set in interval notation and clearly indicate at which step the inequality symbol changed its direction.
