Solving a Three-Part Inequality:
- Simplify the middle part (the expression with the variable):
- Clear parentheses if needed and combine any like terms within the middle expression
- Clear any fractions by multiplying each part by the LCD of all denominators
- Clear any decimals by multiplying each part by the appropriate power of 10
- Isolate the variable term in the middle:
- Use the addition property of inequality to get the variable term alone in the middle
- For a three-part inequality, this means adding the same number to each part
- Isolate the variable in the middle:
- Use the multiplication property of inequality to obtain the form a < x < b, where < could also be ≤
- When multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number, we must flip the direction of all inequality symbols; Ensure that we write our numbers in the order of the number line
