Exercise 19 Page 193

What can you do to isolate a variable in an inequality?

No solution.

Practice makes perfect
Inequalities can be solved in the same way as equations, by performing inverse operations on both sides until the variable is isolated. The only difference is that when we divide or multiply by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign.
15f+9>3(5f+3)
15f+9>15f+9
15f>15f
0 ≯ 0 *
Here, we have produced a false statement as 0 is not greater than itself. This tells us that there is no solution to the inequality as no value of f can make the statement true.
