Right answer 'unknown name'

This a you tube clip that will show you how to solve inequations. It is very good.
Just copy and past the address into your address bar and you can watch it.

The presenter tell you that you have to swap the sign around if you multiply or divide by a negative number but,
There is a couple of things that the presenter, Tyler, doesn't tell you

1) If you swap sides you have to turn the sign around.
so if
5 < x
then the final answer will be
x > 5

2) if you take the reciprocal of both sides (which is probably not a method taught much anyway) then you have to turn the sign around.
so if
3/y > 4/3
then
y/3 < 3/4
which can then be simplified
y < 9/4
y < 2 and a 1/4

Actually, the matmatical notation we both posted are not called inequations, they are called inequalities.
