When you divide both sides of any inequality by a negative number you need to what the inequality symbol?
Flip it around
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number you need to blank the inequality symbol?
Flip. You need to reverse the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative. -2x < 10 (-1)*(-2x) < (-1)*10 2x > -10 x > -5
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inquality by a negative number you need to?
Change the direction of the inequality.
What happens when you multiply or divide an inequalitie by a negative number?
When an inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number the inequality sign is reversed.Example : -x < 7 ......after multiplying by (say) -2 this becomes 2x > -14
What must you do when solving an inequality with a negative coefficient?
Divide by negative one and flip the sign eg -x > 6 / -1 /-1 x < - 6
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.
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.
When you have to reverse the inequality sign?
The usual case is when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number.
When solving an inequality when do you reverse the inequality sign?
When you divide both sides by a negative value
When is the only time you flip an inequality sign?
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
When you divide both sides of any inequality by a negative number you need to what the inequality symbol?
Flip it around
What must occur in a linear inequality when you divide or multiply by a negative number?
The inequality sign must be flipped.
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a number you need to reverse the inequality sign?
negative flip
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 should the inequality sign be flipped?
when you divide the inequality by a negative number, for example -2x > 50 then x < -25
When you solve an inequality and the first step was to multiply or divide by a negative?
yes ... and so?
Do you switch the sign when you multiply or divide an inequality?
Only when what you're multiplying by/dividing by is negative.
