Negative number, multiplying inequalities

Linear ineqmlities are solved in much the same way as simple equations. The most important difference is that when an inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality symbol changes direction. 

Linear inequalities are solved using almost all the same rules as those you use with linear equations. The one big exception is that when you multiply or divide each side of the inequality by a negative number, you have to switch the sign around from > to < or vice versa. 

To solve a linear inequality, isolate the letter and solve the same as you would in a first-degree equation. Remember to reverse the direction of the inequality sign if you divide or multiply both sides of the equation by a negative number. 

Now there is one rule that you need to remember when dealing with inequalities When you multiply or divide by a negative number you need to reverse the sign. So when you divide by -5,...
