Question

this question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b.
part a
consider the inequality \\(\frac{x}{-8} > 2\\).
solve the inequality.

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -8

When multiplying an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So we have \( \frac{x}{-8} \times (-8) < 2 \times (-8) \) (note the flip from > to <).

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying gives \( x < -16 \).

Answer:

\( x < -16 \)
