Inequalities

It is the existing inequality between two algebraic expressions, connected through the signs: greater than >, less than <, less than or equal to ≤, as well as greater than or equal to , in which there are one or more unknown values called unknowns, in addition to certain known data.

−6x −16 ≥ 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

−6x − 16 − 2x ≥ 2x − 2x

−8x − 16 ≥ 0

Add 16 to both sides.

−8x − 16 + 16 ≥ 0 + 16

−8x≥16

Divide both sides by -8.

-8x / -8 ≥ 16 / 8

x ≤ − 2
