Answer
Linear equations and linear inequalities both require adding, subtracting, and then multiplying or dividing in order to solve for the unknown variable.
Work Step by Step
Below is an example showing the similarities in solving linear equations and linear inequalities.
$5x+6=31$
$5x=31-6$
$5x=25$
$x=5$
$5x+6\geq31$
$5x\geq31-6$
$5x\geq25$
$x\geq5$
