Which statement about solving inequalities is true?

Adding the same value to both sides preserves the inequality, so it does not change which values satisfy it. For example, x < 3 remains true exactly when x + 2 < 5. Subtracting the same value also preserves the solution set, while multiplying or dividing by a negative value requires reversing the inequality sign; therefore, the other statements are false.
