Solve Inequality with Negative Coefficient

When solving inequalities, when do you "flip the inequalities sign"?

• When you are solving a one-step problem.

• When you multiply or divide by a negative number (the coefficient is negative).

• When you are solving a two-step problem.

• When you add or subtract a negative number from the constant.
