Question

-8s>16 what is the answer

Answer 1

`-8s\ \textgreater \ 16`

`(-8s)/(-8) \ \textgreater \ (16)/(-8)`

`s\ \textless \ -2`
The sign flips because you are dividing/multiplying both sides with a negative number.

Answer 2

-8s>16
Divide -8 on both sides while flipping the sign from "greater than" to "less than".
Final Answer: s< -2
