Question 235970: I'm having difficulty with the Multiplication principle for this problem...
-2x > 1/9
{x|x }
Do I reverse the order of numbers and make it
1/9 < 2x = ? Any guidance would be wonderful, thank you!!

-2x > 1/9
You are solving for x -- any time you multiply or divide by a negative value, you must flip the inequality.
.
-2x > 1/9
Dividing both sides by 2:
-x > 1/18
Multiplying both sides by -1:
x < -1/18 (notice the inequality flipped)
.
That is:
{x | x is less than -1/18 }
