common denominator = Method: Get a common denominator
Method: Isolate x Step 1: Take b from both sides Step 2: Divide both sides by a
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Method: Solve the inequality and then select all appropriate integers for the set Remember the set of integers Z contains all positive and negative whole numbers and zero. A =
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Multiply both sides by 2 Take 1 from both sides Divide both sides by 3 Multiply both sides by -1 Remember this will change the direction of the inequality List the solution set Or show the solution set on the number line
