Question

Number that must be divided in both sides of the inequality $-2x>22$ to get solution for $x$ in single step is

• A. -2

Answer 1

The correct option is A -2
Given algebraic inequality : $-2x>22$

We know: On dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the sign of inequality gets flipped.

On dividing both sides of inequality by $-2$, we get: $\frac{-2x}{-2}<\frac{22}{-2}$

$\Rightarrow x<-11$
