 Introduction
Linear equations and inequalities
are fundamental concepts in
mathematics that have numerous
applications in real life situations.
Whether you're calculating the cost
of groceries, designing a bridge, or
managing a business budget,
understanding these concepts is
essential for success.
In this presentation, we will explore
what linear equations and
inequalities are, how to solve them,
and provide examples of their
practical applications. So buckle up
and get ready to dive into the world
of math!
 What are Linear Equations?Linear equations are mathematical
expressions that describe a relationship between two variables,
usually represented as x and y. These equations are used to
model real-life situations such as calculating the cost of a phone
plan or predicting the growth of a population over time.Linear
equations can also be used to solve problems in physics,
engineering, and business. For example, they can be used to
calculate the distance traveled by a car given its speed and time
on the road, or to determine the amount of money needed to
start a small business. By understanding linear equations, we can
better understand the world around us and make informed
decisions based on data.
 Solving Linear Equations Linear
equations are equations that have a
straight line as their graph. Solving
linear equations involves finding the
value of the variable that makes the
equation true. This is done by
performing operations on both sides
of the equation in order to isolate the
variable. The goal is to get the
variable by itself on one side of the
equation, with a known value on the
other side.For example, let's say we
have the equation 2x + 3 = 7. To solve
for x, we first subtract 3 from both
sides of the equation to get 2x = 4.
Then, we divide both sides by 2 to get
x = 2. This means that if we plug in
x=2 into the original equation, it will
be true. Solving linear equations is
important because it allows us to find
unknown values in real life situations,
such as calculating the cost of a
purchase after applying a discount.
 What are Inequalities?
Inequalities are mathematical
expressions that compare two
values using symbols such as <, >,
≤, or ≥. Unlike equations, which
have a specific solution,
inequalities can have multiple
solutions or even an infinite
number of solutions.
For example, the inequality 2x + 3
< 7 can be solved by subtracting 3
from both sides to get 2x < 4, and
then dividing both sides by 2 to
get x < 2. In this case, any value of
x less than 2 will satisfy the
inequality.
 Solving Inequalities
To solve inequalities, first, isolate the
variable by adding or subtracting the same
number from both sides. Then, multiply or
divide by a positive number to get the
variable alone, but flip the inequality sign
if multiplying or dividing by a negative
number. Finally, plug the answer back into
the original inequality to ensure
correctness.
Solve 2x + 5 < 11 by isolating x. Subtract 5
from both sides to get 2x < 6. Divide both
sides by 2 to get x < 3. Plug this back in to
check and the inequality holds true.
Linear equations and inequalities are
essential tools for budgeting. They help
you track income and expenses,
prioritize expenses, forecast future
income and expenses, and set budget
limits.
One of the most important things to keep
in mind when creating a budget is to
ensure that your expenses do not exceed
your income. This can be represented by
the following linear equation:

Total expenses ≤ Total income

You can use this equation to set a budget

limit, or to track your spending
throughout the month to make sure that
you are staying on track.
