Answer by scott8148(6628)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide to solve an inequality; just like an equation

the important difference is: if you multiply or divide by a negative value, the direction of the inequality changes
(you need to change the direction of the arrow)
