The Multiplication Property of Inequality

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The multiplication property of inequality preserves direction for positive multipliers and reverses it for negative ones; multiplying or dividing by a negative flips the symbol.

Show

−2x < 6 divides by −2 into x > −3 — symbol flipped. Test x = 0: both lines hold.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
