You can solve inequalities just like you solve equations, with a couple of exceptions: If you multiply or divide by a negative quantity, then you must reverse the order of the inequality sign (<, >, ...)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + x - 12 > 0 Simplify. \n" ); document.write( "2x - 12 > 0 Add 12 to both sides. \n" ); document.write( "2x > 12 Divide by 2 (Since 2 positive, you don't reverse the order) \n" ); document.write( "x > 6\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check the solution by choosing a value of x that is greater than 6 (x > 6). \n" ); document.write( " |
