When multiplying or dividing a negative number or variable.
The main difference is that if you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you have to change the direction of the inequality sign - for example "greater than" would become "less than".
To isolate the variable in a multi-step inequality, start by simplifying the inequality as needed, such as distributing or combining like terms. Next, use inverse operations to eliminate any coefficients or constants attached to the variable, maintaining the inequality's direction (reversing it if you multiply or divide by a negative number). Finally, continue simplifying until the variable is alone on one side of the inequality. Always check your solution by substituting back into the original inequality.
An inequality is a relationship between two quantities that are not the same.
No. An inequality will show two expressions that aren't equal.

yes ... and so?
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.

A bivariate linear inequality.
