For example, let's start off with: 9x + 3 > 3x + 2

First, get rid of the smallest 6x + 3 > 2

variable, 3x, by subtracting

3x from 9x.

Then, subtract 3 from both 6x > -1

sides to isolate the

variable.

Now divide each side by x > -1/6

6 to get x alone to solve

the inequality.

Summary: Subtract one coefficient from another coefficient to get one coefficient on one side of the equation. Subtract one constant on one side of the equation from the other so that the coefficient is completely alone on its side of the equation. Finally, if their is a constant attached to the variable, which the pair is called a coefficient, divide whatever the constant of the variable is on both sides of the equation to get the variable alone to solve the equation.
