Recap of Previous Lecture :

Points to Remember :

1. Many simple inequalities can be solved by adding, subtracting, multiplying or


dividing both sides
Recap of Previous Lecture :

Points to Remember :

2. But, Following things will change direction of the inequality:


• Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number
• Swapping left and right hand sides
Recap of Previous Lecture :

Points to Remember :

3. Don’t multiply or divide by a variable (unless you know it is always positive or


always negative).
