What else can I help you with?
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 you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a number you need to reverse the inequality sign?
negative flip
Do you only flip the inequality when you divide by a negative number?
Yes you do, you also flip the inequality sign if you multiply by a negative # The > and < signs are strictly the "Greater than" and "Less than" signs. The inequality sign is an = with a / stroke through it. If you divide an inequality by -1 it remains an inequality.
Do you see any differences from an equation when you add or subtract numbers to both sides of the inequality sign?
No, the process is exactly the same. However, when you multiply or divide, you must be careful: if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality must be changed, for example: -x + 3 > 15 (multiply by -1) x - 3 < -15
When solving an inequality you must reverse the order of the inequality whenever you multiply both sides of the inequality by any number.?
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.
When you have to reverse the inequality sign?
The usual case is when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number.

negative flip
What must occur in a linear inequality when you divide or multiply by a negative number?
The inequality sign must be flipped.
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 you solve an inequality and the first step was to multiply or divide by a negative?
yes ... and so?
Do you only flip the inequality when you divide by a negative number?
Yes you do, you also flip the inequality sign if you multiply by a negative # The > and < signs are strictly the "Greater than" and "Less than" signs. The inequality sign is an = with a / stroke through it. If you divide an inequality by -1 it remains an inequality.
What happens if you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number?
The inequality sign changes direction. So 2<3 Multiply by -2 and you get -4>-6 (similarly with division).
Do you switch the sign when you multiply or divide an inequality?
Only when what you're multiplying by/dividing by is negative.
How is inequality differant from equation?
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 ">".
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inquality by a negative number you need to?
Change the direction of the inequality.
Do you flip the sign of this inequality 8x plus 4y12?
Only when you multiply or divide by a negative number
