Solving Multi-Step Inequalities

An inequality is a statement in which two expressions are not equal.

You know that 3 is less than 8. This can be shown in two ways.

3 < 8 means 3 is less than 8

8 > 3 means 8 is greater than 3

Think about 3 < 8. This sentence is true. Is 3 > 8 true? Is 3 = 8 true? Note that only one of the three sentences is true. This can be summarized by the following property.
