If both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by the same positive number, the direction of the inequality symbol remains the same. For example, if you have ( a < b ) and you multiply both sides by a positive number ( c ), the inequality remains ( ac < bc ). This property holds true for all positive numbers, ensuring the relationship between the two sides is preserved.
When one side of the inequality is divided or multiplied by a negative number.
The inequality sign becomes greater than (>).
The inequality sign flips when both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number because the direction of the relationship between the two values reverses. For example, if ( a < b ) and we multiply both sides by -1, the inequality becomes ( -a > -b ) since multiplying by a negative number changes the order of the values. This does not happen with equations because equations represent equality; multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number does not change their equality.
When two numbers with different signs are multiplied or divided, the answer is negative.
In mathematics, the rules for multiplying and dividing negatives and positives are straightforward: a positive number multiplied or divided by a positive number results in a positive number, while a negative number multiplied or divided by a negative number also yields a positive result. Conversely, a positive number multiplied or divided by a negative number results in a negative number. These rules help maintain consistency in calculations involving different signs.
When a side is multiplied or divided by a negative number.
When the two sides of the inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number or term or expression.
a negative divided or multiplied by a negative is a positive a negative and a positive multiplied or divided by each other is a negative a negative divided or multiplied by a negative is a positive a negative and a positive multiplied or divided by each other is a negative
When a quantity is subtracted or added from both sides of an inequality, the true difference in value is varied thereby changing the direction of the inequality, but when rather than subtracted or added it is multiplied or divided, it preserves the true difference in value thereby facing the same direction as the initial inequality.
When one side of the inequality is divided or multiplied by a negative number.
The inequality sign becomes greater than (>).
The inequality sign flips when both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number because the direction of the relationship between the two values reverses. For example, if ( a < b ) and we multiply both sides by -1, the inequality becomes ( -a > -b ) since multiplying by a negative number changes the order of the values. This does not happen with equations because equations represent equality; multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number does not change their equality.
When an Inequality expression is multiplied (or divided) by a negative number then the Inequality sign is reversed. Example : -9x < 18 : -x < 2 : x > -2........as both sides have been multiplied by -1.
The rules for division are the same as for multiplication. Positive multiplied (or divided) by negative is negative.
When two numbers with different signs are multiplied or divided, the answer is negative.
The answer of a negative number multiplied by (or divided by) a positive number will be a negative number.
U do NT mention if it had a inequality,or value of x. So answer is 16x
