## Difficult Math Topic: Multiplying and Dividing with Inequalities

12/17/2012

One of the most difficult math topics that I have learned so far is multiplying and diving with inequalities. Now to you, it may sound pretty easy, but for me, it was really difficult. At first, the multiplying was easy for me. All I had to do was multiply, and then bring down the correct sign. The variable also always comes before the sign and number. Now, that was easy. But the dividing part was the difficult part. There were many rules to diving with inequalities. Like if you divide with a negative number, you have to switch the sign. So say you were multiplying -6 by x which is greater than 48. You would divide each side by -6, and you get 8. So it would be x is LESS THAN 8.  I didn't get it at first because I couldn't remember that rule so I kept getting the answer wrong.
But then, I finally found a solution to my problem. All I had to do was remember it. So I did. Now, it's too easy for me. I think I'm good at remembering things which really help me succeed in school. This math topic is really a piece of cake for me now, and I don't have much problems with it now. I thought I would never be able to accomplish it but I did.
