2 < 5 TRUE

What if I add/subtract a number to both sides?

+3 +3TRUE5 < 8

-12 -12

-7 < -4 TRUE

Does adding or subtracting change theInequality?

So if we have

x + 4 < 10we can solve by subtracting 4 from each side and the inequality doesn’t change.

-4 -4

x < 6

2 < 5 TRUE

What if I multiply/divide a positive number to both sides?

*10 *10TRUE20 < 50

10 < 25 TRUE

Does multiplying/dividing by a positive number change the inequality?
