Only when you multiply or divide by a negative number
No, you only flip the inequality sign if you are dividing by a negative number on both sides of the inequality
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
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.
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)
Yes you have to flip the sign.
negative flip
You need to flip the inequality sign when you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by a negative number. For example, if you have an inequality like ( -2x < 6 ) and you divide by -2, it becomes ( x > -3 ). However, when adding or subtracting a number from both sides, the inequality sign remains unchanged.
There is no inequality since there is no inequality sign.
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 :)
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.
you cant with the information that you gave
When you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the order of the values changes, which can reverse the relationship between them. For example, if ( a < b ) and you multiply both sides by -1, the inequality becomes ( -a > -b ). This flip is necessary to maintain the truth of the statement, ensuring that the inequality reflects the correct relationship after the operation. Thus, it's a mathematical rule that helps preserve the validity of the inequality.
