  1. Inequality Statements

  2. “<“ looks like an alligator’s open mouth. The wider part of the opening points toward the larger number.

  3. 8>2 X<3 You cannot list them all because they are infinite but you can show them on a graph. 8 is greater than 2 The set of all numbers that make x less than 3 Example……

  4. Example…… • X<3 would be graphed like this:

  5. “OPEN Circle” – means the number is NOT part of the solution. “CLOSEDCircle” = means the number IS part of the solution.

  6. Order of the inequalities…… • 8>-4 means the same as -4<8. • Keep the big mouth pointing toward the same number on either side.

  7. Example…...

  12. So what if I took an inequality such as 4 < 8 and added 3 to each side….

  13. So what if I took an inequality such as 4 < 8 and added -5 to each side….

  14. Addition Property of Inequalities • If the same number is added to each side of a true inequality, the resulting inequality is also true. • 1. If a > b, then a + c > b + c • 2. If a < b, then a + c < b + c
