11-5Solving Inequalities by
Adding or Subtracting
When you add or subtract the same number on both sides of an inequality, the resulting statement will still be true.
–2 < 5+7 +7
5 < 12
You can find solution sets of inequalities the same way you find solutions of equations, by isolating the variable.

Solve. Then graph the solution set on a number line.
Additional Example 1A: Solving Inequalities by
Adding
A. n – 7 ≤ 15
n – 7 ≤ 15
+ 7 + 7
n ≤ 22
Add 7 to both sides.
Draw a closed circle at 22 then shade the line to the left of 22.

Additional Example 2A: Solving Inequalities by
Subtracting
A. d + 11 > 6
d + 11 > 6
–11 –11
d > –5
Check

11-5Solving Inequalities by
Adding or Subtracting
Last year, the low temperature for March 1 was –2°F. This year the forecast calls for a low of at most 13°F on that day. At most, how many degrees warmer is the temperature forecast to be on March 1 this year than last year?
Additional Example 3: Meteorology Application
Let t represent the temperature increase fromlast year to this year.
–2 + t ≤ 13
+2 +2
t ≤ 15
The temperature forecast for this year is at most15°F warmer than the temperature recorded last year.
Add 2 to both sides.

Last year, the football team had 8 more giveaways than takeaways or –8. This year they improved to having 8 more takeaways than giveaways or +8. If they have no more giveaways in their last game, their improvement over last year will be at least how much?
Insert Lesson Title Here
Let t represent the takeaway increase fromlast year to this year.
–8 + t ≤ 8
+8 +8
t ≤ 16
The takeaway ratio for this year will be at least16 greater this year than that recorded last year.
Add 8 to both sides.
