1-6: Solving Multi-step Inequalities Rules for solving inequalities: 1.) Solve same way as a regular equation, but your answer is more of a solution set. (You can have more than one answer that makes the inequality true.) 2.) Graph the solution on a number line:

o 3 4 5 1) Solve 5m - 8 > 12 + 8 + 8 5m > 20 5 5 m > 4 5(4) – 8 = 12
o -3 -2 -1 2) Solve 12 - 3a > 18 - 12 - 12 -3a > 6 -3 -3 a < -2 12 - 3(-2) = 18

Special Case #1 • Distribute • Combine like terms • Get variable on same side • True or false? 3x + 4 > 2(x + 3) + x 3x + 4 > 2x + 6 + x 3x + 4 > 3x + 6 -3x -3x 4 > 6 This statement is FALSE: No Solution
Special Case #2 • Distribute • Combine like terms • Get variable on same side • True or false? 3 – 3(y – 2) < 13 – 3(y – 6) 3 – 3y + 6 < 13 – 3y + 18 -3y + 9 < -3y + 31 +3y + 3y 9 < 31 This statement is TRUE: All Real Solutions
