when to change the sign of inequation?

I can't recall all the cases in which we have to change the sign of inequations. The sign of inequation gets changed when we transpose a negative from left to right side, or right to left side, is this correct? Does the sign also gets changed when we multiply both sides by negative to make 'x' postive? Also, in equations x variable can't be negative, right? So we have to make it positive, but in a case like x^2-x+1/5-x > 5, for example, we don't have to multiply by negative on both sides, right? My question is, are we only supposed to make 'x^2' positive, and not the 'x' variable?

hold up i'll write what ik on my nbk and send the photo the sign only changes when you either add a constant <0 or multiply w/ a -ve value(i cant post the photo as i dont have my phone currently) you are only supposed to make x^2 positive as the variable even if -ve after finding the roots it wont matter however the variable with the highest degree needs to be +ve
