document.write( "We solve inequalities using very similar rules to those for solving equations. One BIG difference:\r\n" );
document.write( "When you divide both sides on an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality must \r\n" );
document.write( "change. In this case.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides of the inequality by -8 to isolate the variable.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In other words, any number greater than -6 will make the inequality true.\r\n" );

document.write( "0 < 48\r\n" );
document.write( "TRUE.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "What is we pick a number less than or equal to -6. It will not make the inequality true.\r\n" );
document.write( "Let f = -6\r\n" );
