10a+10 > 9a+22 10a+10 > 9a+22 -10 -10 Subtract 10 from both sides: 10a > 9a+12 10a+10 > 9a+22 -10 -10 10a > 9a+12 -9a -9a Subtract 9a from both sides a > 12 For set builder notation, put "{a |" before the inequality and a close bracket "}" after it: {a | a > 12} Some people use a colon instead of a slash, like this: {a : a > 12} Edwin
