Shweta was teaching "method to solve a linear inequality in one variable" to her daughter.
Step I Collect all terms involving the variable (x) on one side and constant terms on other side with the help of above rules and then reduce it in the form $\mathbf{a x}<\mathbf{b}$ or $\mathbf{a x} \leq \mathbf{b}$ or $\mathbf{a x}>\mathbf{b}$ or $\mathbf{a x} \geq \mathbf{b}$.
Step II Divide this inequality by the coefficient of variable (x). This gives the solution set of given inequality.
Step III Write the solution set.
