Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well

Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.

This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.

You want to know the side length of the square swimming pool. Explain how you can use the perimeter then find the side length to

olganol [36]

Its a square pool and its perimeter is 100 yards.

We know that a square has 4 sides with the same length so we can give a square perimeter by the sum of their 4 sides

Lets call the side "l" and since we have 4 of them we need to sum it 4 times

l + l + l + l = perimeter

4l = perimeter

We know the perimeter

4l = 100

Divide both sides by 4

4l/4 = 100/4

l = 25

So the side length is equal to 25 yards
