You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Treat this exactly like you would an equation when solving!
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Whatever you do to one side of the inequality, you have to do to the other.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3k%2B5%3E11\" given
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3k%3E6\"subtract 5 from both sides
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k%3E2\" divide both sides by 3
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The solution is \"k%3E2\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So any number greater than 2 is a solution. ie 2.1, 2.7, 4, 100, 7529, etc.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If at any point we had multiplied or divided both sides by a negative number,
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then we would have needed to change the direction of the inequality sign.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! :)
