Does an inequality sign change in an equation when both sides are multipled or divided by negative number?
The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.
What are the properties in solving equations and inequations?
You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation or inequality by the same number. Don't multiply or divide by zero. In the case of an inequality, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must be reversed. E.g., if you multiply both sides by -2, a "less-than" sign should be replaced by a "greater-than" sign.
If 9w equals negative 54 what is W?
W is negative 6 (-6). The algebraic equation is 9w = -54 Divide both sides by 9 w = -6
What do you do with your inequality if you divide by both sides by a negative number?
If two sides of an inequality are multiplied (or divided) by a negative number, you have to invert the sign. For example, a "less-than" sign becomes a "greater-than" sign.
What is Division Property of Equations?
You can divide both sides of an equation by any non-zero number and not affect its validity.
