Which of the following is the correct first step to isolate the variable in the equation $3x\; +\; 5\; =\; 17$?

When solving an inequality, if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, the inequality symbol must be flipped (for example, becomes $>$).

When solving an inequality, if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, what must you do to the inequality symbol to keep the statement true?

Match each inequality symbol or phrase with its correct mathematical meaning or representation.

Order the following values from the least (smallest) to the greatest (largest) to demonstrate your understanding of how numbers compare on a number line.

Sort each mathematical statement or phrase into the correct category based on the inequality symbol it represents.

Arrange the steps for solving a basic one-step equation or inequality in the correct logical order to isolate the variable.

Unscramble the letters to find the mathematical term for a value that makes an inequality true, such as $x\; =\; 5$ for the statement $x\; >\; 3$.

Before we begin solving two-step inequalities, let's review the properties of one-step inequalities and equations. Which of the following statements are true regarding the rules for solving and graphing inequalities? Select all that apply.

Before we begin solving two-step inequalities like $2x\; +\; 5\; >\; 11$, let's review our foundational skills. Which of the following statements correctly describes a rule or property used when solving one-step equations or inequalities?
