We treat inequalities similarly to solving to an equation. We want to get $x$ on its own on one side, in this case we can achieve this by dividing $\\var{a1}$ from both sides which gives us the following.

\n

\\[\\simplify{{a1}x}\\var{Symb[0]}\\var{a1*a2}\\]

\n

\\[\\simplify[!all]{{a1}x/{a1}}\\var{Symb[0]}\\simplify[!all]{{a1*a2}/{a1}}\\]

\n

\\[x\\var{Symb[0]}\\var{a2}\\]
