Solve the inequality and enter your solution as an inequality comparing the variable to the solution. -33+x<-33
No, you can only simplify an expression. To solve for a variable, it must be in an equation.
isolate the variable
Equations are used to find the solution to the unknown variable.
Multi-step inequalities can be solved in the same manner as multi-step equations.Follow these steps in solving a multi-step inequality: Remove all grouping symbols.Combine like terms on each side of the inequality.Use the addition property of inequality to get the variable term on one side and constant on the other.Use the multiplication property of inequality to make the coefficient on the variable 1.Check your answer.It is impossible to check every answer of an inequality because the solution set is infinite, but you can test some of the elements in the solution set.
When you have a negative variable in an equation that you are trying to solve for, you multiply each side of the equation by -1. If it is an inequality such as <, you would flip the sign to > and vice versa.
x>5
No, you can only simplify an expression. To solve for a variable, it must be in an equation.
x>-9
isolate the variable
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.
To solve multi-step inequality word problems, start by carefully reading the problem to identify the variable, the inequality relationship, and any constants involved. Next, translate the written expressions into mathematical inequalities. Then, isolate the variable by performing inverse operations, ensuring to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. Finally, express the solution in interval notation or graph it on a number line, as needed, to convey the range of values that satisfy the inequality.
Equations are used to find the solution to the unknown variable.
Identify your variables. Make one of the variables equal zero and solve for the other variable. Once you have a solution for this varaible this solution is called a zero. Make the other variable equal to zero and solve for the other variable. Once you have a solution for this variable this solution is also called a zero.

An expression cannot be solved; an equation or an inequality may be.
There is no equation (nor inequality) in the question. There is also no unknown variable. So there is nothing to solve.
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.)
