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.
When solving an inequality when do you reverse the inequality sign?
When you divide both sides by a negative value
How do you solve an inequality when using the distributive property?
You solve an inequality in the same way as you would solve an equality (equation). The only difference is that if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. Thus, if you have -3x < 9 to find x, you need to divide by -3. That is a negative number so -3x/(-3) > 9/(-3) reverse inequality x > -3
When is the only time you flip an inequality sign?
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
When graphing a linear inequality the first step is to replace the inequality symbol with what sign?
With the equal sign (=).
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.
When solving an inequality when do you reverse the inequality sign?
When you divide both sides by a negative value
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a number you need to reverse the inequality sign?
negative flip
How do you know when to reverse the direction of an inequality symbol?
u only reverse the sign when u multiply or divide by a NEGATIVE number...otherwise u don't change the direction

The only difference is that if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. Thus, if you have -3x < 9 to find x, you need to divide by -3. That is a negative number so -3x/(-3) > 9/(-3) reverse inequality x > -3
What is a solution to the inequality x281?
"x281" is an expression, not an inequality. An inequality is supposed to have an inequality sign, such as "<" or ">".
When is the only time you flip an inequality sign?
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
If you multiply an inequality by a negative number when should you reverse the inequality symbol?
Always.
What is the inequality of 13 X plus 2665?
There is no inequality since there is no inequality sign.
What do you need to do to the inequality sign if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number?
Leave it alone. You cannot make an inequality into an equality by multiplying both sides of the inequation by the same number. If instead of the inequality sign you are using a lesser or greater than sign, however, you will need to reverse it if you multiply both sides by the same negative number, e.g. 10>4. If you multiply both sides by -2, you need to change the > into a <, so -20<-8
When graphing a linear inequality the first step is to replace the inequality symbol with what sign?
With the equal sign (=).
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
