Question

Look at the two equations:

-3x + 6 = 21
-3x + 6<21
Which statement best describes the process used to solve the equations?
O In both cases, subtract 6 from both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.
In both cases, divide by -3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality
The process is exactly the same for solving the equation and solving the inequality
The process for solving the equation is entirely different from solving the inequality.

Answer 1

Answer B . or i took the quiz got this question right

Explanation:

Option 2: In both cases, divide by -3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.

You can divide -3 on both sides because all the numbers can be divided by 3, and you do reverse the inequality sign (when you multiply/divide a negative number to both sides of the inequality, you reverse the inequality sign)

Answer 2

In both cases, divide by -3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.

Explanation:

You can divide -3 on both sides because all the numbers can be divided by 3, and you do revers the inequality sign.
