Solving and Graphing Inequalities

Inequalities compare two quantities using symbols like <, >, ≤, ≥. An algebraic inequality contains a variable and has a solution set of numbers that make the inequality true, which can be represented on a number line. Examples of solving simple inequalities are shown, such as isolating the variable in x + 7 < 10 to get x < 3, and dividing both sides of 6n ≥ 30 by 6 to get n ≥ 5.

Vocabul
ary two quantities
• Inequality – compares
and typically uses one of these
symbols <, >, ≤, or ≥
• < is less than
• > is greater than
• ≤ is less than or equal to
• ≥ is greater than or equal to
Vocabulary
• Algebraic inequality - is an inequality that
contains a variable ( that would be a letter)
• Solution of the inequality - a number that
makes an inequality true
• Solution set - the set of all solutions that
makes an inequality true ( can be shown by
graphing it on a number line)
• Ex. X + 3 > 4
• -3 >-3
• x>1
• 0 1 2 3 4 5
