How do you solve a multi-step inequality that includes fractions and variables on both sides?

Answer 1

Barbara Torres

To solve a multi-step inequality with fractions and variables on both sides, first clear the fractions by multiplying every term by the least common denominator (LCD). Next, simplify and combine like terms. Isolate the variable on one side by adding or subtracting terms. Finally, divide or multiply to solve for the variable, remembering to reverse the inequality sign if you multiply or divide by a negative number.
