It depends on the specific inequality. In the simplest cases, it is solved just like an equation; except that you must be careful when multiplying and dividing - if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must switch the inequality sign. For instance, a "less-than" sign would be changed to a "greater-than" sign.

Get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inquality in order to solve the equation or inequality?

To isolate a variable in an equation or inequality, you need to perform inverse operations to both sides. Start by eliminating any constants added or subtracted from the variable, followed by dividing or multiplying to remove coefficients. Ensure to maintain the equality or inequality by performing the same operations on both sides. Finally, simplify the expression to get the variable alone on one side.

How do you solve a linear equation of an inequality or equation?

To solve a linear equation or inequality, first isolate the variable on one side of the equation or inequality. For an equation, use operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to simplify until the variable is alone (e.g., (ax + b = c) becomes (x = (c-b)/a)). For an inequality, follow similar steps but remember to reverse the inequality sign if you multiply or divide by a negative number. Finally, express the solution in interval notation or as a graph on a number line, depending on the context.

There is no equation (nor inequality) in the question. There is also no unknown variable. So there is nothing to solve.


How do you solve an inequality if you are left with a negative variable?

In the case of an inequality, if you mulitply by a negative number, you have to reverse the direction of the inequality. E.g.: -x < 10 becomes: x > -10 (Here, I multiplied by -1, and simultaneously reversed the direction of the inequality.)
