What is the Division Property of Inequality?

www.VirtualNerd.com

SUMMARY
'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing
numbers here
To avoid dividing by zero, 'c' cannot equal zero
'c > 0' means 'c' is a positive number
We divide by 'c' as a way of showing how the
Division Property of Inequality works
'c < 0' means 'c' is a negative number

NOTES

'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing

numbers here
'c' must not be zero in order to avoid any divisions
by zero!

'c' must not be zero in order to avoid any divisions

by zero!
'c is GREATER THAN zero' is a fancy way of
saying 'c' is a positive number
'c is LESS THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c'
is a negative number

What is done to one side of the inequality must be

done to the other side!

'a' and 'b' are just variables representing numbers

here

'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing

numbers here

'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing

numbers here

Dividing by a negative number reverses the

direction of the inequality symbol

'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing

numbers here

You only need to reverse the direction of the

symbol if what you are dividing by is negative
