The inequality is "flipped" when multiplied by a negative number. For example, if x &gt; y and a is a negative number, then ax &lt; ay.


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


If you multiply an inequality by a negative number when should you reverse the inequality symbol?

Always.


When you have to reverse the inequality sign?

The inequality symbol doesn't change direction in this case.Note that that is the same as adding a positive number.Note also that if you MULTIPLY or DIVIDE by a negative number, then you need to change the direction of the inequality symbol.


How do you solve an inequality if you are left with a negative variable?

In the case of an inequality, if you mulitply by a negative number, you have to reverse the direction of the inequality. E.g.: -x &lt; 10 becomes: x &gt; -10 (Here, I multiplied by -1, and simultaneously reversed the direction of the inequality.)


Does an inequality sign change in an equation when both sides are multipled or divided by negative number?

The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.
