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 solve inequality and graph them?
Get the variables on one side of the inequality sign, and the numbers on the other side. You do this by using inverse operations. Divide the number by the variable. If you divide using a negative number you flip the inequality sign. An example of what you are looking at should look like x > 3. You would graph this example by drawing a number line, then putting an open cirlce at three, and shading the number line on the right side of the three. This shows that x is greater than three.
Do the same rules apply when you solve equations and inequalities?
Almost. There's one new rule, which is that whenever you multiply or divide by a negative number, you have to flip the inequality sign. To see why, try achieving the same result without this step, using positive factors and subtraction: the equation must effectively flip itself around the sign.
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inquality by a negative number you need to the inquality sign?
flip the sign, meaning change < to > or > to <
