      Ever wondered what rules you're allowed to follow when you're working with inequalities? Well, one of those rules is called the addition property of inequality, and it basically says that if you add a number from one side of an inequality, you have to add that same number from the other side of the inequality as well. Watch the tutorial to see how this looks in terms of algebra!
