The inequality sign changes direction.
So 2<3
Multiply by -2 and you get -4>-6 (similarly with division).
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.
The usual case is when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number.
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
The direction of the inequality remains unchanged. The direction changes when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative number. It also changes if both sides are raised to a negative exponent.
Only when what you're multiplying by/dividing by is negative.

When an inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number the inequality sign is reversed.Example : -x < 7 ......after multiplying by (say) -2 this becomes 2x > -14
negative flip
The inequality sign must be flipped.
the answer becomes negative
yes ... and so?
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.
