What happens if you add or subtract a value to both sides of an inequality?
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.
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).

No, you only flip the inequality sign if you are dividing by a negative number on both sides of the inequality
When you have to reverse the inequality sign?
