Question 193469: Add -5 to both sides of the inequality 7 > 1. Then divide both sides of the inequality -25 > -30 by -6. Explain what happens in both examples and when the direction of the inequality symbol is reversed.

Add -5 to both sides of the inequality 7 > 1.
You get 2 > -4 which is true
Notice that the order of the inequality has not been affected.
--------------------------------------
Then divide both sides of the inequality -25 > -30 by -6.
You get 25/6 < 5 if you do it correctly
Notice that when you divide an inequality by a negative
the order of the inequality is reversed.

Explain what happens in both examples and when the direction of the inequality symbol is reversed.
