8. Factoring by Grouping
Sign In
What can you do to isolate a variable in an inequality?
G
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 you divide or multiply by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
LHS-5
Divide by - 2 and flip inequality sign
Rearrange inequality
This inequality tells us that all values less than - 1 will satisfy the inequality. Therefore, we obtained the answer G.
