It is not uncommon for equations to be given in a format that could leave the variable on the right instead of the left.

The direction of the inequality sign is essential! So do we ever change it?... When manipulating inequalities most rules are similar to standard linear equations
Okay to do:
Simplify a side
Add/subtract from both sides
Multiply/divide both sides by a positive number.
Actions that flip the sign:
Multiply/divide both sides by a negative number.
Swapping left and right sides.
