Verbal expressions that suggest an inequality.
The sum of eight and a number is at least six.
8 + x > 6

The product of seven and a number is less than or equal to three less than twice the number.
7x < 2x - 3
SOLVING INEQUALITIESUsing Addition and Subtraction
ADDITION PROPERTY OF INEQUALITY
For any numbers a, b, and c,if a > b, then a + c > b + c
25 > 2025 + 5 > 20 + 5
30 > 25
SOLVING INEQUALITIESUsing Addition and Subtraction
SAMPLE PROBLEMS
Solve & Graph: x – 3 > 7+3 +3
x > 10Check: 10 – 3 = 7 True
Check 2: 11 – 3 > 7 True
0 10
SAMPLE PROBLEMS
Solve & Graph: x + 6 < 2-6 -6
x < - 4Check: - 4 + 6 = 2 True
SOLVING INEQUALITIESUsing Addition and Subtraction
Check 2: - 5 + 6 < 2 True
- 4 0
SAMPLE PROBLEMS
Solve & Graph: 11 + x > - 5-11 -11
x > - 16Check: 11 + (-16) = - 5 True
Check 2: 11 + (-15) > - 5 True
SOLVING INEQUALITIESUsing Addition and Subtraction
-16 0
SAMPLE PROBLEMS
Solve: 55 – x > 70-55 -55
-x > 15
Check: 55 – (-15) = 70 True
x > -15
Change signsNOTE: sign stays with x
Check 2: 55 – (-14) > 70 False…WHY?

SOLVING INEQUALITIESUsing Multiplication and Division
MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY OF INEQUALITY
For any numbers a, b, and c > 0,if a > b, then ac > bc
25 > 2025(5) > 20(5)
125 > 100
SOLVING INEQUALITIESUsing Multiplication and Division
MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY OF INEQUALITY
For any numbers a, b, and c < 0,if a > b, then ac < bc
25 > 2025(-2) > 20(-2)
-50 > -40 Ding!!
Just like solving equations, except……when multiplying or dividing by a negative.
SOLVE: -3x > 6
x < -2
-3 -3 Ding!!
SOLVING INEQUALITIESUsing Multiplication and Division
Just like solving equations, except……when multiplying or dividing by a negative.
SOLVE:
x < 12
(-2) (-2) Ding!!
