Solving One-Step Inequalities Objective: To solve one-step inequalities using properties for inequalities
Solving One-Step Inequalities What are the Properties for Inequalities? Are they the same as for regular equations?
Solving One-Step Inequalities Addition Property for Inequalities x -15 < 73 x -15 < 73 + 15 + 15 Add 15 to both sides x < 88
Solving One-Step Inequalities Subtraction Property for Inequalities y + 15 < 25 y +15 < 25 - 15 - 15 Subtract 15 from both sides y < 10
Solving One-Step Inequalities Multiplication Property for Inequalities Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient
Solving One-Step Inequalities Division Property for Inequalities Divide both sides by the coefficient of x
Notice: Sign CHANGED Division Property for Inequalities Caution! Dividing by a negative number Same if multiplying?
…the sign CHANGES Multiplication Property for Inequalities Caution! When you multiply by a negative number… YES! -x > 2 5 x < -10 (-5 )-x > 2(-5) 1 5
