What else can I help you with?
When you have to reverse the inequality sign?
The usual case is when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number.
When you must reverse the inequality sign?
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
What happens if you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number?
The inequality sign changes direction. So 2<3 Multiply by -2 and you get -4>-6 (similarly with division).
How do you solve an inequality in one variable?
It depends on the specific inequality. In the simplest cases, it is solved just like an equation; except that you must be careful when multiplying and dividing - if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must switch the inequality sign. For instance, a "less-than" sign would be changed to a "greater-than" sign.
When do you have to flip the greater than or less than or equal to sign in a inequality equation?
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.
When you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number then switch the direction of the?
The relation = , is less than, is greater than inequality sign
When you have to reverse the inequality sign?
The usual case is when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number.
When you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number does it effect the inequality sign?
Yes, when you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. For example, if ( a < b ) and you multiply both sides by a negative number ( -c ), the inequality becomes ( -ac > -bc ). This change is necessary to maintain the truth of the inequality.
When you must reverse the inequality sign?
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
What are the properties in solving equations and inequations?
You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation or inequality by the same number. Don't multiply or divide by zero. In the case of an inequality, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must be reversed. E.g., if you multiply both sides by -2, a "less-than" sign should be replaced by a "greater-than" sign.
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a number you need to reverse the inequality sign?
negative flip
What must occur in a linear inequality when you divide or multiply by a negative number?
The inequality sign must be flipped.
Do you switch the sign when you do inequalities?
Not always. Specifically, you switch the sign when you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER. Example:4 > 3 Multiplying by -2: -8 < -6
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.
What happens to the inequality sign when you divide by a negative integer?
When you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative integer, the inequality sign must be reversed. For example, if you have the inequality (a < b) and you divide both sides by a negative number, the resulting inequality will be (a / (-n) > b / (-n)), where (n) is a positive integer. This reversal is necessary to maintain the truth of the inequality.
What happens if you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number?
The inequality sign changes direction. So 2<3 Multiply by -2 and you get -4>-6 (similarly with division).
Do you flip the sign of this inequality 8x plus 4y12?
Only when you multiply or divide by a negative number
