<PRE><B>Question 546146</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;Treat this exactly like you would an equation when solving!&lt;br&gt;

Whatever you do to one side of the inequality, you have to do to the other.&lt;br&gt;

{{{3k+5&gt;11}}} given&lt;br&gt;

{{{3k&gt;6}}}subtract 5 from both sides&lt;br&gt;

{{{k&gt;2}}} divide both sides by 3&lt;br&gt;

The solution is {{{k&gt;2}}}&lt;br&gt;

So any number greater than 2 is a solution.  ie 2.1, 2.7, 4, 100, 7529, etc.&lt;br&gt;

If at any point we had multiplied or divided both sides by a negative number,&lt;br&gt;

then we would have needed to change the direction of the inequality sign.&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!  :)&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
