Pre-Algebra Examples

$- p < 0$

Step 1

Divide each term in $- p < 0$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- p}{- 1} > \frac{0}{- 1}$

Step 2

Simplify the left side.

Step 2.1

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{p}{1} > \frac{0}{- 1}$

Step 2.2

Divide $p$ by $1$ .

$p > \frac{0}{- 1}$

Step 3

Simplify the right side.
