Question

Multiplying both sides on an inequality by the same number always produces an equivalent inequality true or false

Answer 1

When you multiply or divide each side by 2, the signs stay the same. −16 < 4 and −4 < 1. When you multiply or divide by −2, the inequality sign reverses. 16 > −4 and 4 > −1.

Explanation:

Answer 2

False. If you multiply one side by a negative number, the inequality reverses. Or if you multiply each side by zero, there must at least be an equal sign.
