-2(n+1)-3<1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply first
\n" ); document.write( "-2n-2-3<1
\n" ); document.write( "Add like terms on the left side of inequality
\n" ); document.write( "-2n-5<1
\n" ); document.write( "Now add 5 to both sides to put your constant on the right side of the inequality
\n" ); document.write( "-2n-5+5<1+5
\n" ); document.write( "-2n<6
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide both sides of the inequality by -2.Remember that dividing by a negative number \"flips\" the inequality sign.
\n" ); document.write( "-2n/-2>6/-2
\n" ); document.write( "n>-3 \n" ); document.write( "
