Almost. There's one new rule, which is that whenever you multiply or divide by a negative number, you have to flip the inequality sign. To see why, try achieving the same result without this step, using positive factors and subtraction: the equation must effectively flip itself around the sign.

How do you solve algebra inequalities?

Algebraic inequalities can be solved in the same fashion as algebraic equations. The goal here, as in algebraic equations, is to isolate the variable. The one thing to remember, however, is that when dividing or multiplying both sides by a negative number, one must switch the inequality sign.
