Understanding One-Step Multiplication Inequalities
A one-step multiplication inequality is an inequality that can be solved in a single step using multiplication or division. It typically looks like ax {inequality sign} b, where 'a' and 'b' are numbers, and 'x' is the variable we want to solve for.
To solve for 'x', you need to isolate 'x' on one side of the inequality. This is done by dividing both sides of the inequality by 'a'. Important Note: When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the direction of the inequality sign.
For example, to solve -2x < 6, divide both sides by -2 and reverse the inequality sign to get x > -3. This tool helps you solve these inequalities quickly and visualize the solution set on a number line.
