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.
negative flip
No. Only when you divide by a negative.
The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.
The relation = , is less than, is greater than inequality sign
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.
negative flip
Flip it around
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
Change the direction of the inequality.
When you divide both sides by a negative value
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.
No. Only when you divide by a negative.
The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.
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.
