its an inequality

Answer 4

Inequalities are solved just like equations except with a few extra things. @Grazes is asking if you can do it if it was an equation, which you need to know how to do before solving an inequality.

Answer 5

Solving inequalities is pretty similar to solving equations. The only difference is that you flip the sign when you divide by negative numbers.
Ex. -x>-1 ---> x<1

Answer 6

Just solve it as an equation except instead of the regular equal sign, use a > sign and flip it whenever you divide by a negative number.
