316C Chapter 6 Solving Linear Inequalities
Mathematical Connections and BackgroundMathematical Connections and Background
Solving Inequalities by Additionand Subtraction To solve an equation, isolate the variable so that it
has a coefficient of 1 on one side of the equal sign. Aninequality is solved the same way. The Addition Propertyof Inequality is used in the same way as the AdditionProperty of Equality. It states that any number can beadded to each side of an inequality and the result is a trueinequality. The same is true for the Subtraction Propertyof Inequality: a number can be subtracted from each sideof an inequality and the result is a true inequality.
There are infinitely many solutions to an inequal-ity. The solutions to inequalities can be written in setbuilder notation, for example {x | x � 3). This is read asthe set of all numbers x such that x is greater than 3.
The number found when solving an inequality isa boundary that is sometimes included in the solutionand sometimes not. It is included in the solution if theinequality sign is � or �, but it is not included if thesymbol is � or �. If the boundary number is included, asolid dot is placed at that point on the number line. Ifthe number is not included, use an open circle. Thendraw an arrow to the right if the rest of the solution setis greater than the boundary, or to the left if the rest ofthe solution set is less than the boundary.
Solving Inequalities byMultiplication and Division Inequalities that include multiplication or division
of the variable can also be solved. The same principlesas found in the Multiplication and Division Propertiesof Equality are used, with one main difference. If aninequality is multiplied or divided by the same negativenumber on each side, the inequality symbol is reversed.The symbol must be reversed to result in a true inequal-ity. The inequality sign is not reversed if each side ismultiplied or divided by the same positive number. Youmultiply or divide by a negative number only if thecoefficient of the variable is negative.
Solving Multi-Step Inequalities Solve multi-step inequalities using the same
process as for solving multi-step equations. Work back-ward using inverse operations to undo the operations.After each side is simplified using the DistributiveProperty and/or combining like terms, work in theopposite order of the order of operations. The Additionand Subtraction Properties of Inequality are appliedfirst, followed by the Multiplication and DivisionProperties of Inequalities.
Prior KnowledgePrior KnowledgeStudents solved open sentence inequalities inChapter 1. Chapter 2 had them graphingrational numbers and exploring absolutevalue. Solving single-step and multi-step equa-tions was developed in Chapter 3. Students
learned to graph linear equations in Chapter 4.
This Chapter
Future ConnectionsFuture ConnectionsIn future math studies, students solve andgraph inequalities of other types of functions,such as quadratics. They also apply solvingand graphing inequalities in Algebra 2 to linear programming where the maximumprofit for a situation is determined. Inequal-ities are used in many biological areas, suchas determining appropriate parameters forpopulations of species in various regions.
Continuity of InstructionContinuity of Instruction
This ChapterStudents develop the properties for solvinginequalities. They apply the Addition andSubtraction Properties of Inequalities to solveinequalities. They also use the Multiplicationand Division Properties of Inequalities, wherethe sign is sometimes reversed, to solve in-equalities. They solve single-step and multi-step inequalities. Students solve compoundinequalities, as well as equations and inequal-ities that contain absolute values. The chapter
ends with graphing inequalities in two variables.
Chapter 6 Solving Linear Inequalities 316D
If the solution is an untrue statement, such as 4 � 8, there is no solution. If the solution results in astatement that is always true, such as 5 � 3, then thesolution is the set of all real numbers. A solution canalways be checked by substituting it back into theinequality.
Solving CompoundInequalitiesIn a compound inequality, one variable is
related to two different amounts with two inequalitysigns. The signs may be the same or they may be dif-ferent. If and is written between the inequalities, orthe variable expression is between the two inequalitysigns, the graph is the intersection of the two inequal-ities. This is because the solution must be true forboth inequalities. If or is written between the twoinequalities, the graph is the union of the twoinequalities. This is because the solution can be truefor either inequality.
Solving Open SentencesInvolving Absolute Value An absolute value open sentence can be an
equation or an inequality. The value inside theabsolute value symbols could be positive or negative.The absolute value represents the distance a numberis from zero on a number line. Absolute value equa-tions can be solved by graphing them or by writingthem as a compound sentence and solving alge-braically. To solve algebraically, write the expressioninside the symbol as equal to the given value andthen equal to the opposite of the given value. Solveeach equation. Write both solutions inside one set ofbrackets.
An absolute value inequality is written as acompound inequality. If the absolute value is on theleft and the inequality symbol is � or �, the com-pound sentence is written with and. If the absolutevalue is on the left and the inequality symbol is � or�, the compound sentence is written with or.
To solve the first case, write the expressionfrom inside the absolute value symbol, the � or �,and the value to the right of the sign. Then write theexpression, the opposite inequality sign, and theopposite value. Solve both inequalities and write thesolution set as an intersection. To solve the secondcase you follow the same process, only write the solu-tion set as a union using or before solving bothinequalities.
Graphing Inequalities in Two Variables The solution set of an inequality, like that of
an equation, is all ordered pairs that make the state-ment true. Similar to the solution set of an equationin two variables, the solution set of an inequality intwo variables is graphed on a coordinate plane.However, the solution set of an inequality is not lin-ear. It does have a linear boundary, but it covers aregion called a half-plane.
First graph the inequality as if it contained anequal sign like an equation. This is the boundary line.If the inequality is � or �, then the line is dashed. Asolid line is graphed for � and �. These relate to thecircle and dot on a number line. Select a point ineither half-plane and test it in the inequality. (0, 0) is agood point to use if it is not on the boundary line. Ifthe resulting statement is true, shade the half-planethat contains the point. If the statement is false, shadethe other half plane.

Lesson 6-1 Solving Inequalities by Addition and Subtraction 321
Rewriting Inequalities An equation such as x � 5 can be rewritten as5 � x because of the Symmetric Property of Equality. Because of thisproperty, students may incorrectly assume that they can rewrite aninequality such as 3 � y as y � 3. Remind students that the inequalitysign always points to the smaller value. In 3 � y, it points to y, so towrite the expression with y on the left, use y � 3.

Objective Use algebra tiles tosolve inequalities.
Materialsalgebra tilesequation matself-adhesive notes
• You may wish to do theexample as a demonstration.
• Make sure the inequality signon the self-adhesive note ispointed in the correct directionto match the inequality.
• Once they have isolated the x tiles, remind students toseparate the 1 tiles into equalgroups to correspond to thenumber of x tiles.
• If the x tiles end up on the rightside of the inequality, studentsmay rotate the mat 180 degreesto read the inequality with thevariable on the left side.
Have students work in smallgroups for Exercises 1–7.Observe to determine if they areable to verbalize the activities inExercises 1–4. Students shouldconclude after Exercises 6–7 thatwhen they multiply or divideboth sides of an inequality by anegative number, the direction ofthe inequality sign changes.

Ask students:• What is similar about the two
walls? What is different? Bothwalls are 4 rows high. Each row ofbricks is 3 inches high and eachrow of blocks is 12 inches high.
• By what number are both sidesof the inequality 3 � 12multiplied to yield 12 � 48? 4
• After you multiply both sidesof the inequality 3 � 12 by thesame number to yield 12 � 48,is the inequality still true?Explain. Yes; 12 is less than 48.

Read the introduction to Lesson 6-2 at the top of page 325 in your textbook.
• Would a wall 6 bricks high be lower than a wall 6 blocks high? Why?yes; 6(3) � 6(12)
• Would a wall n bricks high be lower than a wall n blocks high? Explain.yes; When one quantity is less than another quantity,multiplying both quantities by the same positive numberdoes not change the truth of the inequality.
Reading the Lesson
1. Write an inequality that describes each situation.
a. A number n divided by 8 is greater than 5. n 8 � 5
b. Twelve times a number k is at least 7. 12k � 7
c. A number x divided by �10 is less than or equal to 50. x (�10) � 50
d. Three fifths of a number n is at most 13. n � 13
e. Nine is greater than or equal to one half of a quantity m. 9 � m
2. Use words to tell what each inequality says.
a. 12 � 6n 12 is less than 6 times a number n.
b. � 14 A number t divided by �3 is greater than or equal to 14.
c. 11x � 32 11 times a number x is at most 32.
Helping You Remember
3. In your own words, write a rule for multiplying and dividing inequalities by positive andnegative numbers.
Sample answer: When you multiply or divide each side of a trueinequality by a positive number, the result is true. When you multiply ordivide a true inequality by a negative number, you must reverse thedirection of the inequality sign.

The Maya 'I'he Maya were a Native American people who lived from about1500 B.C. to about 1500 A.D. in the region that today encompassesmuch of Central America and southern Mexico. Their manyaccomplishments include exceptional architecture, pottery,painting, and sculpture, as well as significant advances in thefields of astronomy and mathematics.
The Maya developed a system of numeration that was based onthe number twenty. The basic symbols of this system are shown inthe table at the right. The places in a Mayan numeral are writtenvertically—the bottom place represents ones, the place aboverepresents twenties, the place above that represents 20 20, orfour hundreds, and so on. For instance, this is how to write thenumber 997 in Mayan numerals.
← 2 � 800
← 9 � 180
← 17 � 17997

Pre-Activity How are linear inequalities used in science?
Read the introduction to Lesson 6-3 at the top of page 332 in your textbook.Then write an inequality that could be used to find the temperatures indegrees Celsius for which each substance is a gas.
Argon: C � 32 � �303 Bromine: C � 32 � 138
Reading the Lesson
1. What does the phrase “undoing the operations in reverse of the order of operations” mean?
Sample answer: First add or subtract to undo subtraction or addition,then multiply or divide to undo division or multiplication.
2. Describe how checking the solution of an inequality is different from checking thesolution of an equation.Sample answer: Instead of substituting one value for the variable, thereare infinitely many values that can be used to check. It is a good idea touse a value that is less than, the value equal to, and a value greater thanthe number in the solution to check an inequality.
3. Describe how the Distributive Property can be used to remove the grouping symbols inthe inequality 4x � 7(2x � 8) � 3x � 5.
Multiply �7 by both 2x and 8.
4. Is it possible to have no solution when you solve an inequality? Explain your answer andgive an example.
Sample answer: Yes; if solving results in an inequality that is never true(and the signs have been reversed if necessary), then there is nosolution. Example: 3(t � 4) � 8 � 3(t � 4) � 8
Helping You Remember
5. Make a checklist of steps you can use when solving inequalities.
(1) Use the Distributive Property to remove any grouping symbols.(2) Combine any like terms.(3) Add or subtract the same variable terms or constants on both sides.(4) Multiply or divide to undo operations.(5) Reverse the direction of the inequality symbol if both sides were
multiplied or divided by a negative number.(6) Be sure the variable is by itself on one side of the final inequality.

Visual/Spatial Prepare a large number line with two dashed horizontallines above it as a transparency or laminated sheet of paper. Give thestudents a compound inequality written as two statements. Havestudents use a dry-erase marker to plot the solution for each inequalityon one of the dashed lines. If the inequality involves “and,” have themwipe away any parts that are not on both dashed lines. This leaves a clearpicture of what part of the number line should be used for the solution.

Some Properties of InequalitiesThe two expressions on either side of an inequality symbol aresometimes called the first and second members of the inequality.
If the inequality symbols of two inequalities point in the samedirection, the inequalities have the same sense. For example, a � band c � d have the same sense; a � b and c � d have opposite senses.
In the problems on this page, you will explore some properties of inequalities.
Three of the four statements below are true for all numbers aand b (or a, b, c, and d). Write each statement in algebraicform. If the statement is true for all numbers, prove it. If it isnot true, give an example to show that it is false.
1. Given an inequality, a new and equivalent inequality can becreated by interchanging the members and reversing the sense.If a � b, then b � a.a � b, a � b � 0, �b � �a, (�1)(�b) � (�1)(�a), b � a

is absolute value usedin election polls?
Ask students:• With a 3-point margin of error,
the percent of people who areagainst the tax levy could behow high and how low? 48%and 42%
• How would you represent thepercent of people, x, who areagainst the tax levy, with anabsolute value inequality? |x � 45| � 3
• Why is it necessary to representthe percent of people who maybe for the tax levy with theinequality |x � 47| � 3? Thepercent of people who are for thetax levy could be less than 47.Assume that 46% actually vote forthe levy. Substituting 46 for x in theinequality would yield 46 � 47 � 3.While this inequality is true,because �1 � 3, the margin oferror cannot be negative. Soadding the absolute value symbolsmakes the margin of error positive.
ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS There are three types of open sentencesthat can involve absolute value.
x � n x � n x � n
Consider the case of x � n. x � 5 means the distance between 0 and x is 5 units.
If x � 5, then x � �5 or x � 5. The solution set is {�5, 5}.
When solving equations that involve absolute value, there are two cases toconsider.
Case 1 The value inside the absolute value symbols is positive.
Case 2 The value inside the absolute value symbols is negative.
Equations involving absolute value can be solved by graphing them on a numberline or by writing them as a compound sentence and solving it.

is absolute value used in election polls?is absolute value used in election polls?
• Solve absolute value equations.
• Solve absolute value inequalities.
Voters in Hamilton will vote on a new tax levy in the next election. A pollconducted before the election found that 47% of the voters surveyed were forthe tax levy, 45% were against the tax levy, and 8% were undecided. The pollhas a 3-point margin of error.
The margin of error means that the result may be 3 percentage points higher orlower. So, the number of people in favor of the tax levy may be as high as 50%or as low as 44%. This can be written as an inequality using absolute value.
x � 47 � 3 The difference between the actual number and 47 is within 3 points.

Logical Some students may respond better to rewriting absolute valueequations by applying the two situations (positive and negative) to theexpression within the absolute value symbols. For example, | x | � 4 canbe written as x � 4 or �x � 4, which yields x � �4. Example 1 can bewritten as a � 4 � 3 or �(a � 4) � 3. Then students can solve eachequation.

Before presenting Example 3,remind students that the twocases presented represent acompound inequality involvingand, which they learned to solvein Lesson 6-4.
Teaching Tip Students may beconfused about why | t � 5| � 9 is rewritten as t � 5 � 9 and t � 5 � �9. Analternative method is to rewritethe inequality as t � 5 � 9 and�(t � 5) � 9. Then multiplyeach side of the secondinequality by �1 to yield t � 5 � �9. This method makesthe switch of the direction ofthe inequality more obvious, asstudents must make the switchwhen they divide each side by �1.

Lesson 6-5 Solving Open Sentences Involving Absolute Value 347
Absolute Value
Collect the Data• Work in pairs. One person is the timekeeper.• Start timing. The other person tells the timekeeper to stop timing after
he or she thinks that one minute has elapsed. • Write down the time in seconds.• Switch places. Make a table that includes the results of the entire class.
Analyze the Data 1. See students’ work.1. Determine the error by subtracting 60 seconds from each student’s time. 2. What does a negative error represent? a positive error?3. The absolute error is the absolute value of the error. Since absolute value
cannot be negative, the absolute error is positive. If the absolute error is6 seconds, write two possibilities for a student’s estimated time of oneminute. 54 s or 66 s
4. What estimates would have an absolute error less than 6 seconds?5. Graph the responses and highlight all values such that 60 � x � 6.
How many guesses were within 6 seconds? See students’ work.
The Algebra Activity explores an inequality of the form x � n.

Lesson 6-6 Graphing Inequalities in Two Variables 353
The solution set for an inequality in two variables contains many ordered pairswhen the domain and range are the set of real numbers. The graphs of all of theseordered pairs fill a region on the coordinate plane called a . An equationdefines the or edge for each half-plane. boundary
half-plane
Consider the graph of y � 4. First determine the boundary by graphing y � 4, the equation you obtain by replacing the inequality sign with an equals sign. Since the inequality involves y-values greater than 4, but not equal to 4, the line should be dashed. The boundary divides the coordinate plane into two half-planes.
To determine which half-plane contains the solution, choose a point from each half-plane and test it in the inequality.
Try (3, 0). Try (5, 6).
y � 4 y � 0 y � 4 y � 6
0 � 4 false 6 � 4 true
The half-plane that contains (5, 6) contains the solution. Shade that half-plane.

Step 4 Examine the solution. • Rosa cannot sell a negative number
of commercials. Therefore, the domain and range contain onlynonnegative numbers.
• She also cannot sell half of a commercial. Thus, only points in the shaded half-plane whose x- and y-coordinates are whole numbers are possible solutions.
One solution is (12, 8). This represents twelve 30-second commercials and eight 60-second commercials in a one hour period.

Graph Linear Inequalities The solution set of an inequality that involves twovariables is graphed by graphing a related linear equation that forms a boundary of a half-plane. The graph of the ordered pairs that make up the solution set of the inequalityfill a region of the coordinate plane on one side of the half-plane.
Graph y � �3x � 2.
Graph y � �3x � 2.Since y � �3x � 2 is the same as y � �3x � 2 and y � �3x � 2,the boundary is included in the solution set and the graph should bedrawn as a solid line.Select a point in each half plane and test it. Choose (0, 0) and (�2, �2).
y � �3x � 2 y � �3x � 20 � �3(0) � 2 �2 � �3(�2) � 20 � �2 is false. �2 � 6 � 2
�2 � 4 is true.The half-plane that contains (�2, �2) contains the solution. Shade that half-plane.

� dashed no
� dashed no
� solid yes
� solid yes
2. If a test point results in a false statement, what do you know about the graph?
The half-plane containing the test point is not part of the solution and is not shaded.
3. If a test point results in a true statement, what do you know about the graph?
The half-plane containing the test point is part of the solution and is shaded.
4. When can the origin not be used as a test point?
The origin cannot be used as a test point when it is on the boundary.
Helping You Remember
5. The two-variable inequalities in this lesson can be solved for y in terms of x to get asentence in slope-intercept form. It looks much like a slope-intercept equation, but it hasan inequality symbol instead of an equals sign. For example, 4x � 2y � 5 can be written
as y � �2x � . Explain how to graph an inequality once it is written in slope-intercept
form. Use the idea that greater can mean above and less can mean below.
Draw the boundary line. If the inequality symbol is � or �, make theboundary dashed. If the symbol is � or �, make the boundary line solid.If the symbol in the slope-intercept inequality is � or �, shade below theboundary to indicate smaller values of y. If the symbol is � or �, shadeabove the boundary to indicate greater values of y.

Using Equations: Ideal WeightYou can find your ideal weight as follows.
A woman should weigh 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of height and 5 additional pounds for each inch over 5 feet (5 feet � 60 inches).A man should weigh 106 pounds for the first 5 feet of height and 6 additional pounds for each inch over 5 feet. These formulas apply topeople with normal bone structures.
To determine your bone structure, wrap your thumb and index fingeraround the wrist of your other hand. If the thumb and finger just touch,you have normal bone structure. If they overlap, you are small-boned.If they don’t overlap, you are large-boned. Small-boned people shoulddecrease their calculated ideal weight by 10%. Large-boned peopleshould increase the value by 10%.
Calculate the ideal weights of these people.
1. woman, 5 ft 4 in., normal-boned 2. man, 5 ft 11 in., large-boned120 lb 189.2 lb

Graphing Inequalities in Two Variables Concept Summary
• To graph an inequality in two variables:
Step 1 Determine the boundary and draw a dashed or solid line.
Step 2 Select a test point. Test that point.
Step 3 Shade the half-plane that contains the solution.
Graph y � x � 2.
Since the boundary is included in the solution, draw a solid line.Test the point (0, 0).y � x � 2 Original inequality
0 � 0 � 2 x � 0, y � 0
0 � �2 trueThe half plane that contains (0, 0) should be shaded.
Exercises Determine which ordered pairs are part of the solution set for eachinequality. See Example 1 on page 352.
