Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a question in German that provides three mathematical statements, and you are asked to select which ones are correct. The question involves real numbers , , and . Let's break down each statement:
-
Statement 1:
- This is incorrect. If , negating both sides reverses the inequality, meaning , not .
-
Statement 2: The inequality has the solution set .
- Let's solve the inequality: Add 3 to both sides: The correct solution set should be , not . So this statement is incorrect as well.
-
Statement 3:
- This is correct. Adding the same number to both sides of the inequality does not change the inequality's direction. Therefore, holds true.
Conclusion:
- The only correct statement is the third one: .

Here are 5 related questions:
- What happens when we multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number?
- How does shifting an inequality by adding or subtracting the same value affect it?
- Can we apply similar rules for inequalities in non-real number systems (e.g., complex numbers)?
- How can you verify if an inequality solution is correct by graphing it?
- What are the differences between strict inequalities (e.g., ) and non-strict inequalities (e.g., )?
Tip: Always remember to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number.
