Explain how solving -7y > 161 is different from solving 7y > -161.

Sample response: Both inequalities use the division property to isolate the variable, y. When you divide by a negative number, like –7, you must reverse the direction of the inequality sign. When you divide by a positive number, like 7, the inequality sign stays the same. The solution to the first inequality is y > -23, and the solution to the second inequality is y <>

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to factor the radicals into products of radicals, and when factoring you should keep in mind you want to obtain perfect square roots. So √125 = √5*√25 and squareroot 25 has a definite answer of 5, so ∛125=∛5×∛25=5×√5. You want to follow the general pattern of factoring perfect squares to obtain a number outside the radical which can be multiplied by the current coefficient
