Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality.

The product of - 2 and a number x is greater than 30.

First, you have to write down the inequality:

-2*x>30

Then you must figure out how to solve this. The way I would solve this is to divide 30 by - 2 and then use a number greater than that.

30/-2=-15

so you have to chose a number that is bigger than - 15 in order to get the answer.

-2*-16=32

That makes the new inequality 32>30.

That is the answer to the inequality.
