You haven't actually stated an inequality. You could have said x<b or x>b or a number of other things, but x b doesn't tell us anything.

Let us say, the inequality is x<b. So x is less than b. If b is negative, then x is also negative, and to an even larger extent; for example, if b = -6, x could equal -7. Minus 7 is one less than minus 6.

How does the solution to an inequality differ from the solution to an equation?

The solution to an inequality generally is a region with one more dimension. If the inequality/equation is of the form x &lt; a or x = a then the solution to the inequality is the 1 dimensional line segment while the solution to the equality is a point which has no dimensions. If the inequality/equation is in 2 dimensions, the solution to the inequality is an area whereas the solution to the equality is a 1-d line or curve. And so on, in higher dimensional spaces.

How do you solve an inequality if you are left with a negative variable?

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 &lt; 10 becomes: x &gt; -10 (Here, I multiplied by -1, and simultaneously reversed the direction of the inequality.)

What is the greatest number that is a solution for the inequality?

The answer, which may not even exist, depends on the inequality. There is, for example, no greatest solution for x &gt; 5.
