After removing the constant, focus on isolating the variable by using inverse operations to deal with the coefficient (the number multiplied by the variable). If the inequality has multiplication by the variable, use division to isolate the variable. If the inequality has division, use multiplication to isolate the variable. For example, if the inequality becomes 3x > 6, you would divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.
