Whenever you multiply (or divide) both sides an inequality by a negative number.
Example: 3 < 5, therefore -3 > -5
-2x < 10
becomes (by multiplying by -1/2):
x > 5
x(x+1) > 0
In this type of inequality, you can divide both sides by x, but you have to consider the two cases, that x > 0 and that x < 0.
The inequality sign opens towards the bigger number.
If the inequality has a > or ≥ sign, you shade above the line. If the inequality has a < or ≤ sign, you shade below it. Obviously, just an = is an equation, not an inequality.
An inequality must have a greater than sign (>) OR a less than sign (<) OR a greater than or equal to sign (≥) OR a less than or equal to 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)
Only when what you're multiplying by/dividing by is negative.
It depends on the specific inequality. In the simplest cases, it is solved just like an equation; except that you must be careful when multiplying and dividing - if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must switch the inequality sign. For instance, a "less-than" sign would be changed to a "greater-than" sign.
"x281" is an expression, not an inequality. An inequality is supposed to have an inequality sign, such as "<" or ">".
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
Not always. Specifically, you switch the sign when you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER. Example:4 > 3 Multiplying by -2: -8 < -6
The relation = , is less than, is greater than inequality sign
There is no inequality since there is no inequality sign.
With the equal sign (=).
No, you only flip the inequality sign if you are dividing by a negative number on both sides of the inequality
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
Yes, when the inequality has a less that or equal to sign, or a greater than sign or equal to sign, then the equal sign can be replaced and get a solution that is common to both the equation and the inequality. There can also be other solutions to the inequality, where as the solution for the equation will be a valid one.
