    Solve using the multiplication principle
    -4x > 1/11
    What is the solution set?
    {x/x _ _}
    Type an inequality symbol and a fraction.

    I have came up with two answers... not sure which is correct. X < -4/11 or x < -1/44

    Thanks,
    Cooper

    divide both sides by -4 (or multiply both sides by -1/4). Note that this will change the sense of the inequality.
