5.2.1 How can I solve inequali>es? Solving Inequali>es with One or Two Variables Student pages for this lesson are 235 – 240. In Sec>on 5.1, you developed many strategies for solving equa>ons with one variable and systems of equa>ons with two variables. But what if you want to solve an inequality or system of inequali>es instead? Today you will explore how to use familiar strategies to find solu>ons for an inequality. As you work, the ques>ons below can help focus team discussions: • What strategy should we use? • How can we know if this solu>on is correct? • How can we be sure we found all solu>ons?

number line far below right. x > 3 ]

If we plug in 0 for example: 2(0)^2 + 5(0) – 3 = y 2 + 5 – 3 = y -‐3 = y
That point seems to be on the narrower line, so this must be the equa>on for the narrower parabola.
.
*Remember, plugging in 0 for x gets you the y-‐intercept, since all y-‐intercepts have x values of 0
