Do you flip the inequality sign if the only the variable is negative?
No, you only flip the inequality sign if you are dividing by a negative number on both sides of the inequality
When is the only time you flip an inequality sign?
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
Do you only flip the inequality when you divide by a negative number?
Yes you do, you also flip the inequality sign if you multiply by a negative # The > and < signs are strictly the "Greater than" and "Less than" signs. The inequality sign is an = with a / stroke through it. If you divide an inequality by -1 it remains an inequality.
When do you flip the inequality sign?
You flip the inequality sign when you are dividing or multiplying both sides by a negative.You also flip the inequality sign when you "swap" the answers on both sides.The other time you flip the inequality sign is when raising both sides to a negative power. e.g. 5>4, but (5^-1)
Does an inequality change when you multiply by a negative?
Yes you have to flip the sign.
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a number you need to reverse the inequality sign?
negative flip
What is the inequality of 13 X plus 2665?
There is no inequality since there is no inequality sign.
Why do you flip the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by negative numbers?
because if you didn't the inequality would not be true. ex. -3x<15 when you solve it WITHOUT CHANGING THE SIGN, you get x<-5 when you graph that, a possible answer is -7 If you plug that in to the inequality, you get -3(-7)<15 BUT that's not true! so therefor you need to flip the sign direction :)
Why must you flip the inequality symbol when?
I suspect you mean the signs < and > meaning "less than" or "greater than". (There is no flip of the inequality sign, which is an equals sign with a line through it). You have to flip when you multiply a "greater or less than" eqequation if you multiply the equatiob through by -1. Example: you have 2>1, and -2<-1.
How do you solve the inequality?
you cant with the information that you gave
What is the answer to y x plus 2 y2x-5?
Since there is no equality (or inequality) sign in the question, there is no equation or inequality) and therefore nothing which can be solved.
Solve the inequality 4a plus 9-6a -5?
Without an inequality sign it can't be considered to be an equation but it can be simplified to: 4-2a
