E7 Inequalities - When does it flip?
Beigesteuert von: Cason

  8 > -16

12 > -12

Adding or subtracting any number to both sides of an

inequality does not alter the inequality.  See the proof

below.

-4      -4

16 >  - 8

12 > -12

+4     +4

48 > -48

12 > -12

Multiplying or dividing by a positive also does not alter

the direction of an inequality sign. See proof below.

x4      x4

  3 >  - 3

12 > -12

÷4     ÷4

 -48 < 48

12 > -12

However, multiplying or dividing both sides by a

negative changes the inequalitiy.  See proof below.

12 > -12
