Inequality "flip"

Front

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

Back

The inequality sign flips.

Front

What is the rule for flipping the inequality sign when solving inequalities?

Back

The inequality sign flips when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.

Front

In the inequality -5n < 20, what should you do to isolate n?

Back

Divide both sides by -5, which will flip the inequality sign to >.

Front

When solving the inequality n/-7 ≥ 6, what is the first step?

Back

Multiply both sides by -7, which flips the inequality sign to <.

Front

Does the inequality sign flip in the equation -9 + n ≤ -5?

Back

No, the inequality sign does not flip.

Front

In the inequality x/4 ≤ -7, what should you do to solve for x?

Back

Multiply both sides by 4, and the inequality sign does not flip.

Front

What is the result of solving the inequality 6r ≥ -24?

Back

Divide both sides by 6, and the inequality sign does not flip.

Front

What is the significance of the inequality sign in mathematical expressions?

Back

It indicates the relationship between two values, showing whether one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

Front

What does it mean if an inequality is 'flipped'?

Back

It means that the direction of the inequality sign has changed, indicating a reversal in the relationship between the two sides.

Front

When solving inequalities, what should you remember about the direction of the inequality sign?

Back

The direction of the inequality sign changes only when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
