Linear Inequalities Test
About Solving Linear Inequalities in one Variable:

Solving a linear inequality in one variable is similar to solving a linear equation in one variable. Our goal is still to isolate the variable on one side, with a number on the other side. We must always remember to flip the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

Test Objectives:

•Demonstrate the ability to use the addition property of inequality

•Demonstrate the ability to use the multiplication property of inequality

•Demonstrate the ability to solve a linear inequality in one variable
