According to the properties of inequality, we reverse the inequality symbol when we add or multiply by any negative number

Given inequality is Ax + B > C

In the first step, we subtract B from both sides

Ax + B > C

Ax + B - B > C - B

Ax > C - B

Now to remove A we divide by A on both sides

If A is negative then the reverse the inequality sign

When A is negative then > symbol becomes < symbol

so the inequality symbol be reversed when the value of A is negative
