How Do You Solve an Inequality With Variables on Both Sides?
Note:
Solving an inequality for a variable? Just perform the order of operations in reverse! Don't forget that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you MUST flip the sign of the inequality! That's one of the big differences between solving equalities and solving inequalities.

What's the Division Property of Inequality?
Ever wondered what rules you're allowed to follow when you're working with inequalities? Well, one of those rules is called the division property of inequality, and it basically says that if you divide one side of an inequality by a number, you can divide the other side of the inequality by the same number. However, you have to be very careful about the direction of the inequality! Watch the tutorial to see how this looks in terms of algebra!
