Repeat this activity for at least 5 times using the START NEW button to see the different operations and values.
What can you conclude about an inequality when the quantities on both sides are multiplied or divided by positive numbers ?
Will the inequality remain unchanged even though the values have changed?
What happens when you multiply or divide the quantities on both sides by negative numbers ?
Will the original inequality be reversed because of the change in values?
Write down and report your conclusion to your teacher.
