What property of inequality can justify the math in Step 2?

Question

Step 1:

−6(3w−7)>−66

−18w+42>−66

Step 2:

−18w+42−42>−66−42

−18w>−108

Step 3:

−18w/−18>−108/−18

w<6

Answer 1

The property of inequality that justifies the math in Step 2 is the Subtraction Property of Inequality. This property states that if you have an inequality and you subtract the same number from both sides, the inequality remains true. In Step 2, you subtracted 42 from both sides of the inequality.
