You have to flip the inequality sign. If it is less than(<) it has to become greater than(>). If it is greater than(>), it has to become less than(<). If it is less than equal to(<=), it has to become greater than equal to(>=). If it is greater than equal to(>=)., it must become less than equal to(<=).
Treat it like a normal equation. Except if you divide/multiply by a negative number you reverse the inequality. That's basically it.
The main difference is that when solving inequalities, if you multiply or divide by a negative number you have to be careful, since you then also have to switch the sign (for example, change a "less-than" sign to a "greater-than" sign). If you multiply or divide by an expression that contains a variable, you have to consider the two cases: that such an expression might be positive, or that it might be negative.
In the same wasy as you solve equations except that if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, then the inequality changes direction.
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.
Not always. Specifically, you switch the sign when you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER. Example:4 > 3 Multiplying by -2: -8 < -6

the answer becomes negative
Solve like any other math equation. One thing to remember; if you multiply or divide through by a negative number, reverse the inequality.
In the same wasy as you solve equations except that if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, then the inequality changes direction.
You will end up with a positive number. With integers, if you multiply or divide an even amount of negative numbers, the answer will be positive and if you multiply or divide an odd amount, the answer will be negative.
The difference is that instead of the sign "=", an inequality sign, for example "<" (less-than) is used. For solving inequalities, you can add, subtract, multiply or divide both sides by the same number, similar to an equation; however, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes. For example, "<" becomes ">".
same way you do equalities, just remember to change the greater or lesser than sign around if you multiply or divide by a negative number.
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.
- * - = + - * + = - + * + = + - / - = + - / + = - + / + = + *= multiply /=divide
You can multiply or divide it by any negative number.
