How Do You Solve a Decimal Inequality Using Subtraction?
Note:
To solve an inequality containing decimals for a variable, focus on isolating that variable on one side of the inequality. In this tutorial, you'll see how to subtract decimals in order to isolate the variable and find the answer to the inequality!

Background Tutorials
Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
Doing math with paper and pencil can come in real handy, so make sure you're comfortable subtracting decimals by hand. After all, you don't want the calculator to be a crutch!
Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram.
Inequalities come up all the time when you're working algebra problems. In this tutorial you'll learn what an inequality is, and you'll see all the common inequality symbols that you're likely to see :)
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
You can't do algebra without working with variables, but variables can be confusing. If you've ever wondered what variables are, then this tutorial is for you!
