How do you solve an inequality involving division?

Back

To solve an inequality involving division, multiply both sides by the same positive number without flipping the inequality sign.

Front

What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number?

Back

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.
