During the last step of solving an inequality, for example I have came to -3p<-15 . When I divide -15 by -3, do I switch the sign so that the answer would be p>5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You are correct. Whenever you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.

Mehek (mehek14):

yes dividing/multiplying by a negative flips the sign
