Lesson 2-10 "Inequalities by Mult. or Div."
Part 1 "Using Positive Division or Multiplication"


1. If A (<, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠) B and C ≥ 0,
    then A/C (<, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠) B/C or
    then A*C (<, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠) B*C, EX's:
4X > 40
 
     M 2
      2
4X > 40
4       4
(2)M 2(2)
 2
X > 10      M 4

Part 2 "Using Negative Division or Multiplication"
2. Flip (reverse) the Symbol !
3. If A (<, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠) B and C < 0 (negative),
    then A/C (
>, <, ≥, and ≠) B/C or
    then A*C (
>, <, ≥, and ≠) B*C, EX's:
36 -9T
 
     Y < 7
     -3
36 -9T
-9      -9
(-3)Y < 7(-3)
    -3
 -4   T      Y > -21
