1 3-3 Solving Inequalities Using Multiplication or Division
How do you handle negative numbers in inequalities when multiplying or dividing? Multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number affects the inequality symbol. It changes the meaning of the inequality. You need to reverse the inequality symbol to make the inequality true.

What is the Multiplication Property of Inequality? Let a, b, and c be real numbers with c > 0 If a > b, then ac > bc If a < b, then ac < bc Let a, b, and c be real numbers with c < 0 If a > b, then ac < bc If a < b, then ac > bc This property is also true for  and ≤.

What is the Division Property of Inequality? Let a, b, and c be real numbers with c > 0 If a > b, then a  c > b  c If a < b, then a  c < b  c Let a, b, and c be real numbers with c < 0 If a > b, then a  c < b  c If a < b, then a  c > b  c This property is also true for  and ≤.
