Slide 5 / 129
An Inequality is a mathematical sentence that uses symbols,

such as <, <, > or > to compare to quantities.
What do these symbols mean?

Graphing Inequalities
Remember!
Open circle means that
number is not included in the
solution set and is used to
represent < or >.
Closed circle means the solution
set includes that number and is
used to represent or .
Slide 8 / 129
Solving Inequalities
Solving one-step inequalities is much like
solving one-step equations.
To solve an inequality, you need to isolate

variable using the properties of
inverse operations.
Isolate the Variable

To find the solution, isolate the variable x.
Remember, it is isolated when it appears by itself
on one side of the equation.
12 > x + 6
the
inequalities and
Slide 9 / 129
Slide 10 / 129
Step 1: Since 6 is added to x and
subtraction is the
inverse of addition, subtract 6 from both sides to
undo the addition.
12 > x + 6
-6
- 6
6 > x
Slide 11 / 129
Step 2: Check the computation. Substitute the end point
of 6 for x. The end point is not included (open circle)
since x < 6.
12 > x + 6
12 > 6 + 6
12 > 12
10
Slide 12 / 129
Step 3: Check the direction of the inequality. Choose
a number from your line (such as 4) and check that it
fits the inequality.

Summary
In review, an inequality
stays the same
when you:
1. Add, subtract, multiply or divide by the same

positive number on both sides.
2. Add or subtract the same negative number on
both sides.
An inequality
changes direction
when you:
1. Multiply or divide by the same negative

number on both sides.

Now we'll solve some more complicated
equations
and inequalities
Ones that have two-step solutions because
they
involve two operations

Solving equations is like solving a puzzle.
Keep
working through the steps until you get

the variable
you're looking for alone on one side of the equation.
Two Step Inequalities
Slide 49 / 129
You can solve two step inequalities in the same way

you solve equations.
3x - 10 14
is solved in the same way as
3x - 10 = 14
You can add any positive or
negative number to both
sides of the inequality.
You can multiply or divide
both sides of an equality
by any positive number.

Return to
Table of
Contents
Slide 118 / 129
Graphing
Graphs of inequalities are similar to linear equations because
they both have points on a coordinate plane and a line
connecting the points. However, a linear equation is ONLY the
line but an inequality extends beyond that line.
Linear Equation: y = x + 1
Inequality: y < x+1
Slide 119 / 129
Graphing
The following are graphs of linear inequalities.
y > mx + b
y < mx + b
Shading is above a
dotted line.This means
the answers areabove
the line but NOT on it.
Shading is below a
dotted line.This
means the answers
are below the line but
NOT on it.
Slide 120 / 129
Graphing
The following are graphs of linear inequalities.
y > mx + b
Shading is above a
solid line.This means
the answers are above
the line AND on it.
y < mx + b
Shading is below a
solid line. This means
the answers arebelow
the line AND on it.
How to Graph a Linear Inequality

1) Decide where the boundary goes:
Solve inequality for y, for example y > 2x - 1
Slide 121 / 129
Think
y = mx + b
to graph the boundary
2) Decide whether boundary should be:

solid (< or >: points on the boundary make the inequality true) or
dashed (< or >: points on the boundary make the inequality false)
3) Graph the boundary (the line).
4) Decide where to shade:
y > or y >: shade above (referring to y-axis) the boundary
y < or y <: shade below (referring to y-axis) the boundary
(Or, you can test a point)
Graph y < -2x + 1
Graphing
Slide 122 / 129
Step 1: Solve for y: Think y = -2x + 1, m = -2 and b = 1

Step 2: The line should be dashed because the inequality is <
Step 3: Graph boundary
Step 4: Shade below the boundary line because y <
Graph 2x - y < 4

Step 1: Solve for y

-y < -2x + 4
y > 2x - 4

Points on the line make the inequality false.

Points on the line make the inequality true.
The slope of the line depends on the line type.
