According to the relationship between the inequality symbols, if 17 is greater than 4, what else must be true?

1. The general rule states that a is greater than b is equivalent to b is less than a. 2. Applying that rule with a equal to 17 and b equal to 4 gives 17 is greater than 4. 3. Reversing the order, that same relationship reads 4 is less than 17. _Source: OpenStax Elementary Algebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 1 "Foundations", section 1.2 Use the Language of Algebra_
