Equations/Inequalities

When solving an inequality, what are the main things that are different from solving equations.

• Draw the line

• Use inverse operations to solve.

• Bring down the inequality symbol and FLIP the symbol  when you multiply or divide by a negative.

Choose an expression that is equivalent to the following
6n + 2(3 - 5n)

• n + 6

• 6 - 4n

• 16n + 6
