The map in words

  • Start: Linear Inequality
    • What operation?
      • Add/Subtract: Keep inequality sign unchanged
        • Continue solving
          • Simplify to find solution
            • Write solution set
      • Multiply/Divide by Positive: Keep inequality sign unchanged
      • Multiply/Divide by Negative: REVERSE inequality sign
        • Flip < to >, ≤ to ≥, etc.
