Solving gives both a boundary value and a direction for the entire solution set. We’ll isolate the variable with balanced operations, checking the sign of every multiplier or divisor to know whether the inequality direction stays or reverses. Then the strictness sets an open or closed endpoint, and a test value confirms which way the number-line ray extends.
