For inequalities (< or > or <= or >=) when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you flip the inequality.)

-4x>(1/11) (To get x by itself, divide both sides by -4. Because it's -4, flip the inequality from > to <.)

-4x/-4<(1/11)/-4

x < -1/44

How do I solve using the multiplication principle? -4x>1/11
**
-4x>1/11
divide both sides by -4 or multiply both sides by -1/4 and reverse inequality sign
x<-1/44
solution: (-∞,-1/44) (in interval notation)
