You solve inequalities the same way you would a normal equation.
Example 1:
2x%2B3%3E9
2x%2B3-3%3E9-3
2x%3E6
2x%2F2%3E6%2F2
x%3E3
When you are solving an inequality and u need to divide by a negative number, you MUST flip the sign around.
Example 2:
-x%2B4%3C5
-x%2B4-4%3C5-4
-x%3C1
-x%2F-1%3C1%2F-1
x%3E-1
Always and only flip the sign around if you divide by a negative number.
These would be graphed on a number line because there is no y in the equation.
y%3E2x%2B5 would be graphed on a graph.
when given 3x%2By%3C2 you need to solve for y before you graph.
