Solve inequalities that contain more than one operation.

Objective

Holt Algebra 1


Inequalities that contain more than one operation require more than one step to solve. Use inverse operations to undo the operations in the inequality one at a time.

Holt Algebra 1


Example 1A: Solving Multi-Step Inequalities

Solve the inequality and graph the solutions.

45 + 2b > 61

45 + 2b > 61–45 –45

2b > 16

b > 8

0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

Since 45 is added to 2b, subtract 45 from both sides to undo the addition.

Since b is multiplied by 2, divide both sides by 2 to undo the multiplication.

Holt Algebra 1


8 – 3y ≥ 298 – 3y ≥ 29–8 –8

–3y ≥ 21

y ≤ –7

Since 8 is added to –3y, subtract 8 from both sides to undo the addition.

Since y is multiplied by –3, divide both sides by –3 to undo the multiplication. Change ≥ to ≤.

–18 ≥ 3x

–6 ≥ x

Since 6 is added to 3x, subtract 6 from both sides to undo the addition.

Since x is multiplied by 3, divide both sides by 3 to undo the multiplication.

Since x is divided by –2, multiply both sides by –2 to undo the division. Change > to <.

Since 5 is added to x, subtract 5 from both sides to undo the addition.

1 – 2n ≥ 21–1 –1

–2n ≥ 20

n ≤ –10

Since 1 – 2n is divided by 3, multiply both sides by 3 to undo the division.

Since 1 is added to −2n, subtract 1 from both sides to undo the addition.

Since n is multiplied by −2, divide both sides by −2 to undo the multiplication. Change ≥ to ≤.

To solve more complicated inequalities, you may first need to simplify the expressions on one or both sides by using the order of operations, combining like terms, or using the Distributive Property.

Holt Algebra 1


Example 2A: Simplifying Before Solving Inequalities


2 – (–10) > –4t

12 > –4t

–3 < t (or t > –3)

Combine like terms.Since t is multiplied by –4, divide

both sides by –4 to undo the multiplication. Change > to <.

Example 2B: Simplifying Before Solving Inequalities


–4(2 – x) ≤ 8

−4(2 – x) ≤ 8

−4(2) − 4(−x) ≤ 8 –8 + 4x ≤ 8

+8 +84x ≤ 16

x ≤ 4

Distribute –4 on the left side.

Since –8 is added to 4x, add 8 to both sides.

Example 2C: Simplifying Before Solving Inequalities


4f + 3 > 2–3 –3

4f > –1

Multiply both sides by 6, the LCD of the fractions.

Distribute 6 on the left side.

Since 3 is added to 4f, subtract 3 from both sides to undo the addition.

4f > –1Since f is multiplied by 4, divide both

sides by 4 to undo the multiplication.

Multiply both sides by 8, the LCD of the fractions.

Distribute 8 on the right side.

Since 2 is subtracted from 3x, add 2 to both sides to undo the subtraction.

Example 3: Application

To rent a certain vehicle, Rent-A-Ride charges $55.00 per day with unlimited miles. The cost of renting a similar vehicle at We Got Wheels is $38.00 per day plus $0.20 per mile. For what number of miles in the cost at Rent-A-Ride less than the cost at We Got Wheels?

Let m represent the number of miles. The cost for Rent-A-Ride should be less than that of We Got Wheels.

55 < 38 + 0.20 m

Holt Algebra 1


85 < m

Since 38 is added to 0.20m, subtract 8 from both sides to undo the addition.

Since m is multiplied by 0.20, divide both sides by 0.20 to undo the multiplication.

Rent-A-Ride costs less when the number of miles is more than 85.

The score on the second test must be 85 or higher.

Since 95 is added to x, subtract 95 from both sides to undo the addition.

95 + x ≥ 180–95 –95

Since 95 + x is divided by 2, multiply both sides by 2 to undo the division.
