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.
When you divide both sides by a negative value
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 you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
With the equal sign (=).
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
When you divide both sides by a negative value
negative flip
You only need to reverse the order of the inequality when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number. If you multiply or divide by a positive number, the order of the inequality remains the same. This is crucial to maintain the truth of the inequality. Always be cautious about the sign of the number you are using in these operations.
u only reverse the sign when u multiply or divide by a NEGATIVE number...otherwise u don't change the direction

"x281" is an expression, not an inequality. An inequality is supposed to have an inequality sign, such as "<" or ">".

Always.
There is no inequality since there is no inequality sign.
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
With the equal sign (=).
