Okay, I think I am good with how to solve once I figure out where to move my like terms. For example
-4x+8<1/2x +3 (sorry I don't know how to make the fraction look right here).
So I move add 4x to both sides. By moving my "x" like terms to the right.
Now if I have 2x-7>-2/3x-2 , apparently I move my "x" like terms to the left by adding 2/3x to each side.
Here's my question, how do I know where to move my "x" like terms. Is there a standard? Sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left and I don't understand why. I am pretty confused.
Thanks.
