expressions
with an
inequality sign .

Additive property =
if a> b ,
then .
. .
What
you
are
adding to a is what
<
Atc > b +c you are
adding to b

so a is still
going to be then b.

Multiplicative property =
If a > bond c is a
positive
number ,
then . . .

only applies to a
positive
value oh c ?
If a >b end c is a

Solving Inequalities
Solving Inequalities is
just like solving algebra wth

en
quel sign with 2
exceptions !
↳ we flip the when
inequality sign _ _ .
1.
multiplying both sides by a
negetue number
2.
dividing both sides by a negethe number
