How Do You Solve an Inequality By Subtracting Fractions?
Note:
To solve an inequality containing fractions, focus on isolating the variable on one side of the inequality. In this tutorial, you'll see how to subtract fractions with unlike denominators in order to isolate the variable and find the answer to the inequality!
Background Tutorials
-
Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram.

What's an Inequality?
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 :)

Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p - q = p + (-q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.

How Do You Subtract Fractions with the Same Denominator?
Subtracting fractions with like denominators? Just subtract the numerators and put the result over the common denominator! To see this process in action, check out this tutorial!

What's the Subtraction 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 subtraction property of inequality, and it basically says that if you minus a number from one side of an inequality, you have to minus that same number from the other side of the inequality as well. Watch the tutorial to see how this looks in terms of algebra!
