Lesson #1: Solving Linear Inequalities
LG: "Ican solve a linear inequality by using either an algebraic or geometric approach.”
Inequality Symbols: < s -
> 5
Consider: 2<5 isa truestatement Are the other statements also true?
Linear inequalities can be solve the same way as
linear equations except
2(3) < 53)
2(-3) <5(-3)
Examples: Solve each inequality algebraically, representing your solution on a number line. Illustrate the
problem graphically.
Ex#i1 Solve: 3x-1<8, where xe R

Lipid
Ex#2 Solve: —4x+122x—5, where xe R
“polDouble inequalities are a combination of two inequalities where a valid solution for x must satisfy both
inequalities at the same time.
