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 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.
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
The usual case is when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number.
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
The inequality is "flipped" when multiplied by a negative number. For example, if x > y and a is a negative number, then ax < ay.
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.
The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.
It's the same as adding a positive number.
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
The inequality sign becomes greater than (>).
It's the same as adding a positive number.
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.
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.
In addition different signs you subtract and give the sign of the bigger number. Ex: 6+(-8)= -14
The inequality sign changes direction. So 2<3 Multiply by -2 and you get -4>-6 (similarly with division).
The difference is that instead of the sign "=", an inequality sign, for example "<" (less-than) is used. For solving inequalities, you can add, subtract, multiply or divide both sides by the same number, similar to an equation; however, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes. For example, "<" becomes ">".
