When do you change the sign on an inequality, addition, subraction, multiplication and division? for example, 12+x< or = to 9 when trying to solve this do we reverse the sign if we subtract the 12?
**
Reverse the sign only if you multiply or divide both sides by (-1). Addition and subtraction are treated the same way as in equality equations.
