How Do You Use Multiplication with Negative Numbers to Solve an Inequality Word Problem?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Solve this real world word problem in just one written step. The original inequality is a division problem, so to solve it, use the multiplication property of inequality. Was the problem solved by multiplying a negative number? Yes! So don't forget to flip the inequality sign in the solution. Watch this video for a closer look at how to do that.
