Fill in the Blank

A logistics planner is optimizing warehouse space based on the inequality 3q≥7q−23{}3q \geq 7q - 23, where qq represents the number of pallets. After collecting the variable terms on the left side, the planner reaches the step −4q≥−23-4q \geq -23. In the next step, the planner must divide both sides by −4-4. Because they are dividing by a negative number, the planner must remember to ____ the inequality sign to find the correct maximum number of pallets.
