When should an inequality sign be reversed?
When one side of the inequality is divided or multiplied by a negative number.
What happens when both sides of a less than inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number?
The inequality sign becomes greater than (>).
How would you solve d theta divided by 4.28?
d theta divided by 4.28 is not an equation or inequality: it is an expression. An expression cannot be solved.
What do you do with your inequality if you divide by both sides by a negative number?
If two sides of an inequality are multiplied (or divided) by a negative number, you have to invert the sign. For example, a "less-than" sign becomes a "greater-than" sign.

Why does the inequality sign change when both sides are multilpied or divided by a negative number.Does this happen to equations?
It changes because the number may be lesser than the original equation. The greater the negative number the more likely the inequality sign will change.
Why does inequality sign change when both sides are multiplied or divided by a negative number Does this happen with equations why or why not?
I cannot tell you why it changes however it does happen with an equation as most inequalities start off in an equation.
When should an inequality sign be reversed?
When one side of the inequality is divided or multiplied by a negative number.
When solving an inequality when is it necessary to change the direction of the inequality symbol?
When the two sides of the inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number or term or expression.
When do you change the direction of an inequality symbol?
When a side is multiplied or divided by a negative number.
What happens when both sides of a less than inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number?
The inequality sign becomes greater than (>).
Does the inequality sign change when both sides are multipled or divided when using fractions Why or why not?
Not if the fraction is positive. But yes if the fraction is negative. Study the rules of multiplication and division by integers, and you wil see why. Multiplication by a fraction is simplty multiplication by one integer followed by division by another (or the other way round).
When you multiply both sides of any inequality by a negative number you need to the inequality symbol?
When an Inequality expression is multiplied (or divided) by a negative number then the Inequality sign is reversed. Example : -9x < 18 : -x < 2 : x > -2........as both sides have been multiplied by -1.
What happens when you multiply or divide an inequalitie by a negative number?
