Fill in the Blank

A logistics coordinator is configuring an automated alert system that flags inventory anomalies when the stock metric xx satisfies the condition 1−2x≤−3{}1 - 2x \leq -3 or 7+3x≤4{}7 + 3x \leq 4. To properly evaluate the first part of the condition (1−2x≤−3{}1 - 2x \leq -3), the coordinator subtracts 1{}1 from both sides to get −2x≤−4-2x \leq -4. In the final step of solving this piece, the coordinator divides both sides by −2-2, which means they must ____ the inequality sign to arrive at the correct boundary of
