Practice
7 questions
Solve the inequality: 5x + 7 > 3(x + 1). Show all steps in your solution.
Explain how to isolate the variable in the inequality 4(2x - 1) ≤ 3x + 8. What steps do you take to simplify both sides, and what do you do if you need to multiply or divide by a negative number?

Quick comprehension check
“Solve the inequality 4x - 3 < 2(3x + 2) + 4. Show all steps in your solution. Solve the inequality 10 - 2(4x - 1) ≥ 6x + 12. Show all steps in your solution. ”
