How do you solve one-variable inequalities? For example, how do you know what values of x make the following inequality true? -4(x – 5) > 2x + 10
In this lesson you will learn how to solve inequalities by using additive and multiplicative inverses.
Addition Property of Inequality 2 + + 2 4 < 5 6 < 7 (-2) + + (-2) 4 < 5 2 < 3
Multiplication Property of Inequality 2 xx 2 4 < 5 8 < 10 (-2) xx (-2) 4 < 5 -8 <-10 -8 > -10
Forgetting that the multiplication property of inequality may mean that you need to switch the direction of the inequality sign. x- 1 1 -4x > 16 4 4 x- x < -4
x # 3x > 2x + 7 -2x -2x Check: x = 9 x > 7 9 > 7 3(9) > 2(9) + 7
x # -4(x – 5) < 2x + 8 Check: -4x + 20 < 2x + 8 x- -20 -20 x = 5 -4x < 2x - 12 5 > 2 1 1 -2x -2x 6 6 -4(5 – 5) < 2(5) + 10 -6x < -12 x- x > 2
In this lesson you have learned how to solve inequalities by using additive and multiplicative inverses.
