6x < -42 is the same as 6x > 42

is the same as

x > 7

so the only thing that really ever gets reversed is the less than/greater than symbol

For inequality equation, when you do a multiplication or division on both sides with negative number, you will need to reverse the operator

In this case, for 6x < -42, there is no need to reverse the operator if divide both sides by 6 6x < -42 x < -7 But let's say, you have -6x < -42. Divide both sides by -6, you will also need to reverse the operator. -6x < -42 x > 7
