How to Solve Linear Inequalities?
- Use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality.
- Simplify both sides of the inequality as much as possible (combine like terms, distribute if needed).
- If you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by a negative number, flip the inequality sign.
- Perform the necessary arithmetic operations to isolate the variable.
- Write the solution in inequality form, interval notation, or graphically on a number line.
- Substitute the solution back into the original inequality to ensure it makes the inequality true.
