Similar to an equation. The main difference is the following: when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you have to switch the sign. Example:

-3x < 12

Now divide by (-3):

x > -4

Note that, since I divided by a negative number, I had to change the "less than" to a "greater than". This rule becomes somewhat complicated when you need to multiply or divide by the variable - you have to consider different cases.

How do you solve a inequality word problem?

To solve an inequality word problem, first, identify the variables and the relationships described in the problem. Translate the words into a mathematical inequality, using symbols to represent the relationships (e.g., &lt;, &gt;, ≤, ≥). Then, solve the inequality just as you would with an equation, applying algebraic operations while keeping the inequality in mind. Finally, interpret the solution in the context of the original problem to provide a meaningful answer.
