Pre-Algebra One-Step Inequalities. Explanations 3. Tommy San Miguel. Solving Inequalities: Multiplication by a Negative Number: Sometimes, it is necessary to multiply an inequality by a negative number in order to solve the inequality. We'll try to move everything else to the other side. Here's why: Imagine comparing the numbers 5 and 3. Okay, now click over to the problems tab and give this technique a try! Related Lessons.

Caroline K. Solve for x. Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable. Check your solution by first checking the end point 4, and then checking another solution for the inequality. Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences formed by relating two expressions to each other. There are five systems or types of social inequality: wealth inequality, treatment and responsibility inequality, political inequality, life inequality, and membership inequality.
Political inequality is the difference brought about by the ability to access governmental resources which therefore have no civic equality. First of all, we can add inequalities with the same direction.
In other words, with the inequalities pointing in the same direction. So if a is greater than b and c is greater than d, then we can just add them together. For example, 5 is greater than 2 and 11 is greater than 8, those are two true inequalities.
Rule 1. Adding or subtracting the same quantity from both sides of an inequality leaves the inequality symbol unchanged. Rule 2. Just as it is possible to solve two simultaneous equations, so it is possible to solve two inequalities or three, or four, etc.
In solving multiple simultaneous inequalities using multiplication or division, the most important part is to solve each inequality separately and then combine them.
For many students, the above set of inequalities can best be understood graphically. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
