Why the inequality symbol must be reversed when both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number?
The inequality symbol shows wich side of the equation is greater than the other. When you multiply a positive number by a negative number you get a negative result ( for instance 4 x -2 = -8 ). 4 is larger than -8. If we multiply a negative number by a negative number we get a positive number. 1) -5 > -6 . -1 (-5) < -1(-6) . 5 < 6 this is a true statement 2) 5 > -6 . -1 (5) < -1 (-6) . -5 < 6 this is also true 3) 6 > 5 . -1 (6) < -1 (5) . -6 < - 5 this one works too
