Explain in your own words why it is important to switch the signs in an inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Step-by-step explanation:

i got this from a page,it says

"Imagine comparing the numbers  

5  and  3 . Clearly  

5  >  3 .

But what about  

5 ( − 1 ) > 3 ( − 1 ) ?

The result is  

− 5  > − 3 ?!?!

Obviously this is wrong! When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side! This is why you must flip the sign whenever you multiply by a negative number."

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better
