Solve this and graph the answer on a number line: x - 2 = 5 An equation. What does x = 7 MEAN?
An inequality. • Consider this example: x – 2 > 5 What does it mean? What numbers minus two are greater than 5? Well…there are several. Any number bigger than 7. So we write our answer with an inequality. Usually we are asked to graph our solution as well.
To graph an inequality with one variable… • Find all of the possible solutions (solve). • Draw a number line. • You do not have to put all of the numbers. • You DO need to put a 0 in the middle and the number from the solution. • Where you put the number, you have two options: • open circle o for < and > • closed circle • for ≤ and ≥ • Then shade in the direction of the possible solutions.

Solving Inequalities withMultiplication and Division • Multiplication and Division are exactly what you think they are with one exception: • ANY time you multiply BOTH sides or divide BOTH sides by a negative number, you must flip the sign. • Why?
Algebraically: x < y 0 < y – x -y < -x -x > - y Or think of it as a number line: When we multiply by -1, we are reflecting across the zero, so… 0 x y -y -x 0 -x > -y Why do we change the sign when we multiply or divide BOTH sides by a negative? x < y
