Which statement about solving inequalities is true?

Adding the same value to both sides preserves the inequality and keeps the same values as solutions. For example, x + 2 < 5 is equivalent to x < 3 after subtracting 2 from both sides. Multiplying or dividing by a negative value does require reversing the inequality sign, while dividing by a positive value does not.
