How to Solve inequalities with fractions in algebra

"How to Solve inequalities with fractions in algebra" cover image

Solving math inequalities with fractions is easy when applying the rules presented in this video.

• When you add or subtract the same number from each side of an inequality, the relationship between the two sides does not change.

• When you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a positive number, the relationship between the left side and the right side does not change.

• When you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a negative number, the relationship between the left side and the right side reverses.

The above rules can be summarized in the following six formulas:

If m < n, then m+p < n+p

If m < n, then m-p < n-p

If m < n and p > 0, then mp < np

If m < n and p < 0, then mp > np

If m < n and p > 0, then m / p < n / p

If m < n and p < 0, then m / p > n / p

Watch the following videos to learn how to apply the above rules.
