Question

MATH - How are the steps to solving an inequality similar to those for solving an equation? How are they different?

Answer 1

The main difference would be that whenever you’re solving an inequality and you’re dividng or multiplying with a negative number, you must flip the sign. Solving the inequality and equation are the same except when it comes to dividing or multiplying by a negative number.

Answer 2

j ust like with equations, the solution to an inequality is a value that makes the inequality true. You can solve inequalities in the same way you can solve equations, by following these rules. You may add any positive or negative number to both sides of an inequality.
