How do I solve linear inequalities?

To solve linear inequalities, isolate the variable on one side of the inequality, keeping track of the sign of the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, and express the solution as an interval.

What is a linear inequality?

A linear inequality is a first degree equation with an inequality sign

What is a linear expression?

A linear expression is a mathematical expression that consists of a constant or a variable raised to the first power, multiplied by a constant coefficient and added or subtracted together.
