You solve an inequality by treating the greater than and less than like a equal sign, an example is 6x + 15 is less than 9. You could see it as 6x + 15 = 9, so you minus 15 from 9, making it -6. Now, 6x = -6. Divide by 6, and you get x is less than -1. After this, x can equal anything that is less than -1. You can make x equal -2, now you can check the problem: 6x + 15 is less than 9

6(-2) + 15 is less than 9

-12 + 15 is less than 9

3 is less than 9

TRUE!!! This is a true statement because 3 is less than 9. Good luck in the world of Math!

How do you solve the inequality x-46?

This isn't an inequality, but a mathematical "expression". In order to have an inequality that can be solved, there must be an inequality symbol between two mathematical expressions. Nancy


How do you solve an inequality when using the distributive property?

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
