Question

what is the biggest way that solving for inequalities is different from solving for equations? 5/16 you dont use inverse operations. you have to use pemdas order like a normal problem. you have to turn the symbol around if you multiply/divide by a negative. you dont use an equal sign.

Explanation:

To determine the biggest difference between solving inequalities and equations, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect as inverse operations are used in both.
• The second option is incorrect as PEMDAS (order of operations) is used in both.
• The third option is correct: When multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality symbol must be reversed, which is not done in equations.
• The fourth option is incorrect as the lack of an equal sign is a definition difference, not a "biggest way" of solving.

Answer:

The third option (You have to turn the symbol around if you multiply/divide by a negative.)
