Which did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

A
Multiplying or dividing by the same value on both sides of an equation does not change the solution set.
B
Multiplying or dividing by the same positive value on both sides of an inequality does not change the solution set.
C
Multiplying or dividing by the same negative value on both sides of an inequality changes the sense of the inequality.

The solution to an inequality is (–∞, 6.5]. Is 6.5 a solution to the inequality? Explain your answer.

A
The solution includes numbers from negative infinity to 6.5. Because a bracket is used, the solution does not include 6.5.
B
The solution includes numbers from 6.5 to infinity. Because a parenthesis is used, the solution does not include 6.5.
C
The solution is the point (–∞, 6.5). Because a bracket is used, 6.5 is a solution to the inequality.
D
The solution includes numbers from negative infinity to 6.5. Because a bracket is used, the solution includes 6.5.

Explain the differences between properties of equality and properties of inequality when solving equations and inequalities.

Answer:

Properties of equality let you perform the same operation on both sides of an equation without changing its solution set. For inequalities, adding or subtracting the same value or multiplying or dividing by a positive value preserves the inequality’s direction. When multiplying or dividing by a negative value, you must reverse the inequality symbol.
