  1. Based on the task content; If you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality symbol should be reversed always. Option B

    Multiplication of inequality

    Based on the rule of inequality, whenever you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.
    For instance,
    -4x > 12
    divide both sides by -4
    x < 12/-4
    x < -3
    If you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality symbol should be reversed always.
