Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.
Example:
4+5x=24
First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.
4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20
Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.
1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4
You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.

Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we were told that a basket ball team six games and in those games, the team won by 8 points, lost by 7, won 9 , won 11 , lost by 3 and won by 6
The mean difference in games scored over the six games would be calculated as the addition of the scores divided by 6
= [8 + (-7) + 9 + 11 + (-3) + 6] / 6
= 24 / 6
= 4
