Solving
Addition & Subtraction
In solving an inequality, the goal is to write the variable on one side of the inequality symbol and a constant on the other side. The Addition Property of Inequality states that the same number can be added to both sides of an inequality without changing the solution set.
Addition Property of Inequality
If a > b, then a + c > b + c, andif a < b, then a + -c < b + -c
Using this property in solving inequalities is a lot like solving linear equations.
