Rules for Operations on Inequalities:

  • Adding the same number to each side of an inequality does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.
  • Subtracting the same number from each side of an inequality does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.
  • Multiplying each side of an inequality by a positive number does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.
  • Multiplying each side of an inequality by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality symbol.
  • Dividing each side of an inequality by a positive number does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.
  • Dividing each side of an inequality by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality symbol.

 

Calculation:

Given:

Multiplying each side of an inequality by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality symbol.

, Here x ≠ 0

∴ x < 0 OR x > 12
