1.-y%3C=36
y%3E=-36
Remember when you multiply an inequality by negative number, -1, in this case, the signs flips (greater than becomes less than and vice versa).
Let check the answer.
We'll pick y=0, since 0>-36.
-y%3C=36
0%3C=36
True, good answer.
2. 5%2F14%3E=-2e%2F7
%285%2F14%29%28-7%2F2%29%3C=eMultiply both sides by (-7/2), signs flip.
e%3E=-5%2F4
Let check the answer.
We'll pick e=0,since 0>-5/4.
5%2F14%3E=-2e%2F7
5%2F14%3E=0
True, good answer.
