Techniques for Multistep Inequalities
To solve a multi-step inequality, use the same techniques that were discussed in the section on multi-step equations. For review, see the material given for that section.
If the inequality contains grouping symbols, use the distributive property to remove these symbols and simplify the inequality.
If the solution of an inequality leads to an inequality that is always true, the solution set of the original inequality is the set of all real numbers.
If the solution leads to an inequality that is never true, the solution set is the empty set.
