![Page 1: Solving Inequalities. Important Facts < means less than > means greater than ≤ means less than or equal to ≥ means greater than or equal to Use an open.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649db05503460f94a9edd5/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Solving Inequalities
![Page 2: Solving Inequalities. Important Facts < means less than > means greater than ≤ means less than or equal to ≥ means greater than or equal to Use an open.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649db05503460f94a9edd5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Important Facts
< means less than
> means greater than
≤ means less than or equal to
≥ means greater than or equal to
Use an open circle for < and > when graphing
Use a closed circle for ≤ and ≥ when graphing

How to solve an inequality
There is only one difference between an equation and an inequality
= versus <, >, ≤, ≥
![Page 4: Solving Inequalities. Important Facts < means less than > means greater than ≤ means less than or equal to ≥ means greater than or equal to Use an open.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649db05503460f94a9edd5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Solving inequalities
4 + x < 12
4 + x < 12 (draw wall of china)
4 + x < 12 (box in variable)
4 + x < 12 (minus 4 both sides)
-4 -4
x < 8
![Page 5: Solving Inequalities. Important Facts < means less than > means greater than ≤ means less than or equal to ≥ means greater than or equal to Use an open.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649db05503460f94a9edd5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Now to graph the solution
x < 81. Draw a number line. Just need a few numbers on
either side of the solution number.
2. Decide if open circle or closed circle. Place it above the solution number.
3. Determine which way your arrow goes by substituting a number in for the variable to make the statement true. Then draw the arrow pointing in that direction.

Solving inequalities
48 ≥ 8m
48 ≥ 8m (draw wall, box variable)
8 8 (divide 8 both sides)
6 ≥ m

Now to graph the solution
6 ≥ m1. Draw a number line. Just need a few numbers on
either side of the solution number.
2. Decide if open circle or closed circle. Place it above the solution number.
3. Determine which way your arrow goes by substituting a number in for the variable to make the statement true. Then draw the arrow pointing in that direction.
