Key concepts students will learn:

  • When solving inequalities, treat the greater than or less than sign the same way you would treat an equal sign.

  • If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must swap the inequality sign.

  • When solving the inequality -13x > -5, you must divide both sides by -13, which means the solution is x < 5/13.
