My name is Jennifer and I am a home schooled high school student. I would like some help with equations and inequalities. My first inequality is 3p-6>21 and 3q+11+8q>99. Hi JenniferUse the same type of steps as you would to solve an equation except remember to reverse the inequality sign if you multiply or divide by a negative number. For example, with the first inequality above, add 6 to both sides 3p -6 +6 > 21 +6 (the inequality is not changed by this) 3p > 27 divide both sides by 3 p > 9 Now try the second inequality. I got q > 8. cheers,Paul
