Essential Question • How to you solve inequalities using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?
What is an inequality? • Statement with • greater than (>) • Less than (<) • Greater than or equal to (≥) • Less than or equal to (≤)
Example 1: Translate • A. A number is smaller than 3 • B. A number is no more than 7 • C. A number is at least -2 • D. A number is more than 2
Example 1 conitnued • E. A number is fewer than 2 • F. A number is no less than 7 • G. A number is at most -2
<, > Open Circle ≤, ≥ Closed Circle X< or X ≤ Shade left X > or X ≥ Shade Right To graph an inequality
The sum of a number is at least 27. 5 less than a number is greater than 20. Example 2 continued
Something Special about inequalities • When you multiply or divided by a negative ….Flip the sign!
The steps for solving multi-step inequalities are exactly the same as solving equations. EXCEPT, when dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
