36 Chapter 1 Solving Equations and Inequalities
1.6
How can you use addition or subtraction to
solve an inequality?
Work with a partner. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) uses the following formula to rank the passing effi ciency P of quarterbacks.
P = 8.4Y + 100C + 330T − 200N
——— A
Y = total length of all completed passes (in Yards)
C = Completed passes
T = passes resulting in a Touchdown
N = iNtercepted passes
A = Attempted passes
M = incoMplete passes
Which of the following equations or inequalities are true relationships among the variables? Explain your reasoning.
a. C + N < A b. C + N ≤ A c. T < C d. T ≤ C
e. N < A f. A > T g. A − C ≥ M h. A = C + N + M

ACTIVITY: Finding Solutions of Inequalities33
Use what you learned about solving inequalities using addition or subtraction to complete Exercises 5 – 7 on page 41.
4. Write a rule that describes how to solve inequalities like those in Activity 3. Then use your rule to solve each of the inequalities in Activity 3.
5. IN YOUR OWN WORDS How can you use addition or subtraction to solve an inequality?
6. How is solving the inequality x + 3 < 4 similar to solving the equation x + 3 = 4? How is it different?

Addition Property of Inequality
Words If you add the same number to each side of an inequality, the inequality remains true.
Algebra If a < b, then a + c < b + c.
Subtraction Property of Inequality
Words If you subtract the same number from each side of an inequality, the inequality remains true.
Algebra If a < b, then a − c < b − c.
These properties are true for <, >, ≤, and ≥ .
Study TipYou can solve inequalities in much the same way you solve equations. Use inverse operations to get the variable by itself.

Multiplication and Division Properties of Inequality (Case 2)
Words If you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by the same negative number, the direction of the inequality symbol must be reversed for the inequality to remain true.
Algebra If a < b, then a ⋅ c > b ⋅ c for a negative number c.
If a < b, then a
— c >
b —
c for a negative number c.
Undo the multiplication.
A negative sign in an inequality does not necessarily mean you must reverse the inequality symbol. Only reverse the inequality symbol when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.
