why do we have to change signs when dividing an inequality. for example -3x < 3 becomes x > 1? other then 'the answer will not be right', any other reason?
you first ought to get X via itself. to try this subtract the three away. So now you have 2X=-2 The to get the X thoroughly via itself you divide the two away (given it fairly is the guideline, to divide). So X =-a million (and that's because you divided the two faraway from the X and on the different facet it substitute into divided via the -2. desire that facilitates.
you only change the side of an inequality when you are dividing or multiplying by a negative number. if you do this by a positive number, then it stays the same.
you only change the sign of the inequality if the number you are dividing(or multiplying) by a NEGATIVE NUMBER! you dont change the sign if your dividing by a positive number...
Take a look at this example
We all know that 2 < 4
when we divide both sides by a negative number (-2)
2/(-2) < 4/(-2)
-1 < -2 which is false so if we change the sign
-1 > -2 which makes the statement true so that's why we change the sign
