-x > a iff** x < -a This is easy to see intuitively by coloring a number line. ** "if and only if"
Get the variables on one side of the inequality sign, and the numbers on the other side. You do this by using inverse operations. Divide the number by the variable. If you divide using a negative number you flip the inequality sign. An example of what you are looking at should look like x > 3. You would graph this example by drawing a number line, then putting an open cirlce at three, and shading the number line on the right side of the three. This shows that x is greater than three.
You solve an inequality in exactly the same was as you solve an equation, by doing the same thing to both sides. The only difference is if you multiply/divide by a negative number, when you have to turn the inequality around.
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.)

6.021023 is a single number: not an equation or inequality. You cannot solve a single number!
Any compound inequality, in one variable, can be graphed on the number line.

x>5
You solve an inequality in the same way as you would solve an equality (equation). The only difference is that if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. Thus, if you have -3x < 9 to find x, you need to divide by -3. That is a negative number so -3x/(-3) > 9/(-3) reverse inequality x > -3

This is not an inequality. There is no <,>, or = sign.

Solve the inequality and enter your solution as an inequality comparing the variable to the solution. -33+x<-33
I think you would use an average two step equation to solve. Graph on a number line. If it was -2, go over 2 to the left, and make a dot. It is hollow or solid. It is solid if there is a line beneath the less than or greater than sign indicating that it is equal to....
