The simplest way is probably to plot the corresponding equality in the coordinate plane. One side of this graph will be part of the feasible region and the other will not. Points on the line itself will not be in the feasible region if the inequality is strict (< or >) and they will be if the inequality is not strict (≤ or ≥).
You may be able to rewrite the inequality to express one of the variables in terms of the other. This may be far from simple if the inequality is non-linear.
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.)
No. You can solve an inequality in a similar way to an equation, but you end up with a range of answers (like X > 3) for each variable rather than set of exact answers (like X = 3)
When multiplying or dividing a negative number or variable.
Algebraic Inequality
algebraic inequality, is an inequality that contains at least one variable.
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.
x>5
isolate the variable
An expression cannot be solved; an equation or an inequality may be.
One variable inequality- graph the point on the number line then choose a point on the point, to the left and to the right to see what gets shaded. Two variable inequality- graph the line on grid paper then choose a point on the line, to the left and to the right to see what gets shaded.
There is no equation (nor inequality) in the question. There is also no unknown variable. So there is nothing to solve.

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.
