You divide as normal BUT you change the direction of the inequality symbol, so that < becomes > and conversely.
Flip it around
Change the direction of the inequality.
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
Flip. You need to reverse the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative. -2x < 10 (-1)*(-2x) < (-1)*10 2x > -10 x > -5
Divide by negative one and flip the sign eg -x > 6 / -1 /-1 x < - 6
When you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative integer, the inequality sign must be reversed. For example, if you have the inequality (a < b) and you divide both sides by a negative number, the resulting inequality will be (a / (-n) > b / (-n)), where (n) is a positive integer. This reversal is necessary to maintain the truth of the inequality.
Yes, when you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. For example, if ( a < b ) and you multiply both sides by a negative number ( -c ), the inequality becomes ( -ac > -bc ). This change is necessary to maintain the truth of the inequality.
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.
No. Only when you divide by a negative.
When you divide both sides by a negative value
The usual case is when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number.
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
When you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the direction of the inequality sign. For example, if you have ( a < b ) and you multiply both sides by a negative number, the inequality changes to ( -a > -b ). This reversal is crucial to maintain the correct relationship between the two sides of the inequality.
negative flip
Flip it around
The inequality sign must be flipped.
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
