What is the first step in solving a multistep inequality?

Back

The first step is to simplify both sides of the inequality, which may involve combining like terms or distributing.

What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number?

Back

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.

What does it mean if an inequality has no solution?

Back

An inequality has no solution if there are no values that satisfy the inequality, often resulting in a contradiction.

How can you check your solution to an inequality?

Back

You can check your solution by substituting a value from the solution set back into the original inequality to see if it holds true.
