This is an inequality problem:

The answer is greater than equal to 13
and less than equal to -7
In one of the answers, they flip the sign when multiplying both sides by 2 (and the other side in -5).
My understanding is that whenever you are multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number, that is when the inequality gets flipped. What am I missing here?
Thank you!
