E N D
Objective Solve inequalities that contain variable terms on both sides.
Example 1A: Solving Inequalities with Variables on Both Sides Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. y ≤ 4y + 18
Example 1B: Solving Inequalities with Variables on Both Sides Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. 4m – 3 < 2m + 6
Check It Out! Example 1a Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. 4x ≥ 7x + 6
Check It Out! Example 1b Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. 5t + 1 < –2t – 6
Example 2: Business Application The Home Cleaning Company charges $312 to power-wash the siding of a house plus $12 for each window. Power Clean charges $36 per window, and the price includes power-washing the siding. How many windows must a house have to make the total cost from The Home Cleaning Company less expensive than Power Clean? Let w be the number of windows.
Home Cleaning Company siding charge Power Clean cost per window is less than # of windows. # of windows times $12 per window plus times Example 2 Continued 312 + 12 • w < 36 • w
Example 3A: Simplify Each Side Before Solving Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. 2(k – 3) > 6 + 3k – 3
Example 3B: Simplify Each Side Before Solving Solve the inequality and graph the solution. 0.9y ≥ 0.4y – 0.5
Check It Out! Example 3a Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. 5(2 – r) ≥ 3(r – 2)
Check It Out! Example 3b Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. 0.5x – 0.3 + 1.9x < 0.3x + 6
There are special cases of inequalities called identities and contradictions.
–2x –2x Example 4A: Identities and Contradictions Solve the inequality. 2x – 7 ≤ 5 + 2x 2x – 7 ≤ 5 + 2x Subtract 2x from both sides. –7 ≤ 5 True statement. The inequality 2x − 7 ≤ 5 + 2x is an identity. All values of x make the inequality true. Therefore, all real numbers are solutions.
–6y –6y Example 4B: Identities and Contradictions Solve the inequality. 2(3y – 2) – 4 ≥ 3(2y + 7) Distribute 2 on the left side and 3 on the right side. 2(3y – 2) – 4 ≥ 3(2y + 7) 2(3y) – 2(2) – 4 ≥ 3(2y) + 3(7) 6y – 4 – 4 ≥ 6y + 21 6y – 8 ≥ 6y + 21 Subtract 6y from both sides. –8 ≥ 21 False statement. No values of y make the inequality true. There are no solutions.
