Question 632476
They can be solved in the same way. The only difference is that when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, then the inequality sign will flip.



Note: you can think of the equation sign flipping as well if you want (to stay consistent) since flipping the equation sign goes from = to = (and it doesn't change)
