The inequality -15<-6 is given. Write the inequality you get when you perform the following operation:
Divide both sides of the inequality by 3.

I got -5<-2 but it was wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

strange, because the way you typed it, it would be absolutely correct.

If a < b and if c is a positive number, then

a/c < b/c

Dividing each side of an inequality by a positive number does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.

that is one of the defined rules.

so, did you make a mistake with a sign ? maybe the division is meant to be by -3 ?

then indeed, suddenly

5 > 2

so, please check the problem definition precisely. if your correct answer is actually wrong, then the original problem must be different than what you typed here.

The value of the inequality after dividing both sides by 3 is - 5 < - 2

Given the inequality : - 15 < - 6

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 3 :

THE inequality becomes :

-15/3 < - 6/3

-5 < - 2

Hence, the result after dividing both sides of the inequality by 3 is - 5<-2
