When do you flip the inequality sign?

You flip the inequality sign when you are dividing or multiplying both sides by a negative.You also flip the inequality sign when you "swap" the answers on both sides.The other time you flip the inequality sign is when raising both sides to a negative power. e.g. 5>4, but (5^-1)

What is the difference between multiplication property of inequality and multiplication property of equality?

The multiplication property of equality states that if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal. In contrast, the multiplication property of inequality states that if you multiply both sides of an inequality by a positive number, the inequality remains unchanged, but if you multiply by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped. Thus, while equality preserves its form, inequality requires careful handling based on the sign of the multiplier.
