Solving Inequalities
● Solving inequalities follows the same procedures as solving equations.
● There are a few special things to
consider with inequalities:● We need to look carefully at the inequality sign.● We also need to graph the solution set.
Review of Inequality Signs

How to graph the solutions
> Graph any number greater than. . .
open circle, line to the right
< Graph any number less than. . .
open circle, line to the left
Graph any number greater than or equal to. . .
closed circle, line to the right
Graph any number less than or equal to. . .
closed circle, line to the left
Solve the inequality:
x + 4 < 7 -4 -4
x < 3
●Subtract 4 from each side.
●Keep the same inequality sign.
●Graph the solution.
• Open circle, line to the left.

Can we always undo and keep the inequality true?
Let’s investigate: 2 < 6 Adding to both sides? 2 + 2 < 6 + 2 Subtracting on both sides? 2 – 2 < 6 - 2
Let’s investigate: 2 < 6 Multiply both sides? 2 ∙ 2 < 6 ∙ 2 Dividing on both sides? 2 2 < 6 2
Can we always undo and keep the inequality true?
So far so good?
What about multiplying and dividing by a negative number?:
2 < 6 Multiply both sides by -2? 2 ∙ -2 < 6 ∙ -2 If we multiply or divide by a
negative number we need to flip the inequality sign.
There is one special case.
● You only reverse the inequality sign when when you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by a negative number.
Example:
Solve: -3y + 5 >23
-5 -5
-3y > 18
-3 -3
y < -6
●Subtract 5 from each side.
●Divide each side by negative 3.
●Reverse the inequality sign.
●Graph the solution.
•Open circle, line to the left.
