One Step Inequalities Flip the Sign

When solving an inequality, if you divide by a negative, you have to FLIP the sign.

• true

• false

Solve 
-9h > -63

• h < 7

• h > 7

• h < -7

• h > -7

-24 + k ≤ 10

• k ≤ 14

• 34 ≤ k

• k ≤ 34

• 14 ≤ k

Find the solution to...
-48 < 12c

• c > -4

• -4 > c

• c < -4

• 4 < c

• YES

• NO

When do you flip the inequality sign when solving inequality problems?

• When you multiply or divide by a negative number

• When your answer is a negative number

• When there is a negative number or coefficient attached to your variable by multiplication or division

• When you add or subtract the variable by a negative number
