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 happens if you add or subtract a value to both sides of an inequality?

The direction of the inequality remains unchanged. The direction changes when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative number. It also changes if both sides are raised to a negative exponent.


When you divide both sides of an inequality by a positive value you must change the direction of the inequality sign?

No. Only when you divide by a negative.


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.


When do you have to flip the greater than or less than or equal to sign in a inequality equation?

You need to flip the inequality sign when you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by a negative number. For example, if you have an inequality like ( -2x < 6 ) and you divide by -2, it becomes ( x > -3 ). However, when adding or subtracting a number from both sides, the inequality sign remains unchanged.


When you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number then switch the direction of the?

The relation = , is less than, is greater than inequality sign


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.
