HELP!? PLEASE ♥

You must create a lesson that teaches another student how to solve the following inequality: –x + 3 > 7.
Your main mission for this activity is to provide a detailed answer to the question below.

Why must you flip the inequality symbol when you divide by a negative number?

You know that if the symbol is not flipped you will end up with a false statement, but why is that so?

Answer 9

First off, try understanding the concept and from there you should be able to just explain what you know.

Answer 10

COULD YOU WORK THE PROBLEM OUT FOR ME BECAUSE I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND IT IM NOT BEING LAZY IM JUST A DUMB retriceAT MATH

Answer 11

You have to reverse the sense of inequality because what you're doing is taking the opposite of both sides.

Answer 12

So for example:
8>7
divide each side by -1
-8>-7
this is no longer true.... now -7 is greater than -8 so you have to switch the signs
-8<-7

Answer 13

so do the same thing with -x+3>7

Answer 14

So:
add subtract 3 from each side
-x>4
divide each by -1
x<4
because -x is no longer greater than 4
