How is solving linear inequalities in one variable different than solving linear equations in one variable?

Question

lgbasallote · Answer

well in solving linear in equalities you have to make the signs similar

for example

y < x + 1
y > 3x + 2

you have to turn it into this first:

y < x + 1
-y < -3x - 2

before you can eliminate them

does that help?
