Learn to solve and graph inequalities.


Vocabularyinequalityalgebraic inequalitysolution set


An inequality compares two quantities and typically uses one of these symbols:

<<is less than

is greater than

is less than or equal to

is greater than or equal to


The inequality symbol opens to the side with the greater number.

2 < 10

Remember!


Additional Example 1: Completing an Inequality

An inequality that contains one or more variables is an algebraic inequality.

A number that makes an inequality true is a solution of the inequality.

The set of all solutions is called the solution set. The solution set can be shown by graphing it on a number line.

Most inequalities can be solved the same way equations are solved.

Use inverse operations on both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable.


An open circle means that the corresponding value is not a solution. A solid circle means that the value is part of the solution set.

Helpful Hint!


Additional Example 2A: Solving and Graphing Inequalities

Solve and graph the inequality.

x + 2.5 8 –2.5 –2.5

x 5.5

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Use the Subtraction Property of Inequality:Subtract 2.5 from both sides.

According to the graph, 5.4 is a solution, since 5.4 < 5.5, and 6 should not be solution because 6 > 5.5.


Additional Example 2A Continued

Check

Substitute 5.4 for x.

7.9< 8 ?

So 5.4 is a solution.

x + 2.5 < 8 ?

5.4 + 2.5 < 8 ?

Check

Substitute 6 for x.

8.5< 8 ?

So 6 is not a solution.

x + 2.5 < 8 ?

6 + 2.5 < 8 ?


Additional Example 2B: Solving and Graphing Inequalities

Solve and graph the inequality.

w – 1 < 8

w < 9

–3 0 3 6 9 12 15

+ 1 + 1 Use the Addition Property of Inequality: Add 1 to both sides.


Check It Out: Example 2

Solve and graph each inequality.

A. x + 2 3.5 –2 –2x 1.5

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Use the Subtraction Property of Inequality: Subtract 2 from both sides.

B. 6u > 72

6 6

u > 12 3 6 9 12 15 18 21

6u > 72 Use the Division Property of Inequality: Divide both sides by 6.
