What happens to the inequality symbol when you subtract a negative number?
The inequality symbol doesn't change direction in this case.Note that that is the same as adding a positive number.Note also that if you MULTIPLY or DIVIDE by a negative number, then you need to change the direction of the inequality symbol.
When you multiply both sides of any inequality by a negative number you need to do what to the inequality symbol?
You need to change it to the opposite direction; e.g 5 > 1; multiply both sides by -2 it becomes -10 < -2
When graphing a linear inequality the first step is to replace the inequality symbol with what sign?
With the equal sign (=).
Explain how solving inequalities is alike and different from solving equations?
Most of the steps are the same. The main difference is that if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a NEGATIVE number, you must change the direction of the inequality sign (for example, change "less than" to "greater than").
What is A mathematical sentence which contains an inequality symbol and one variable raised to the first power is called a?
It is a linear inequality.
