Solve inequalities just like normal equations.


7 + 6a > 19 (subtract 7 from both sides) 6a > 12 (divide both sides by 6) a >2.


The only trick to solving inequalities is to switch the inequality sign if you divide by a negative number (i.e. if it's -x > 1 then you divide by -1 and switch the inequality x < -1).

Hope the solution helped. Sometimes you need more than a solution. Contact fcabanski@hotmail.com for online, private tutoring, or personalized problem solving (quick for groups of problems.)
