Look at the two equations:-3x + 6 = 21-3x + 6 < 21Which statement best describes the process used to solve the equations?

Answer
A
In both cases, subtract 6 from both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.
B
In both cases, divide by –3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.
C
The process is exactly the same for solving the equation and solving the inequality.
D
The process for solving the equation is entirely different from solving the inequality.
