How do you solve       3    &amp;gt;          h              -        2             and graph the solutions?

Step 1Multiply each side of the inequality by -2 to solve for h while keeping the inequality balanced. However, because we are multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number we must reverse the inequality operator:                    -        2              ×    3                  &amp;lt;                            -        2              ×          h              -        2                  -    6                  &amp;lt;                                                  -            2                                ×          h                                                                                    -                  2                                                                              -    6                  &amp;lt;              h  We can state the solution in terms of h by reversing or &quot;flipping&quot; the entire inequality:      h    &amp;gt;    -    6  To graph this we will draw a vertical line at -6 on the horizontal axis.The line will be a dashed line because the inequality operator does not contain an &quot;or equal to&quot; clause.
