Solving and

Inequalities
An inequality is like an equation,
but instead of an equal sign (=) it
has one of these signs:
< : less than
≤ : less than or equal to
> : greater than
≥ : greater than or equal to
“x < 5”
means that whatever value x
has, it must be less than 5.
Try to name ten numbers that
are less than 5!
Numbers less than 5 are to the left
of 5 on the number line.

• If you said 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, etc., you are right.
• There are also numbers in between the integers, like
2.5, 1/2, -7.9, etc.
• The number 5 would not be a correct answer,
though, because 5 is not less than 5.
“x ≥ -2”
means that whatever value x
has, it must be greater than or
equal to -2.
Try to name ten numbers that
are greater than or equal to 2!
Numbers greater than -2 are to the
right of 5 on the number line.

-2
• If you said -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., you are right.
• There are also numbers in between the integers,
like -1/2, 0.2, 3.1, 5.5, etc.
• The number -2 would also be a correct answer,
because of the phrase, “or equal to”.
Where is -1.5 on the number line?
Is it greater or less than -2?

• -1.5 is between -1 and -2.
• -1 is to the right of -2.
• So -1.5 is also to the right of -2.
Solve an Inequality
w+5<8
w + 5 + (-5) < 8 + (-5)
w<3
All numbers less
than 3 are
solutions to this
problem!
More Examples
8 + r ≥ -2
8 + r + (-8) ≥ -2 + (-8)
r ≥ -10
All numbers from -10 and up (including
-10) make this problem true!
More Examples
x - 2 > -2
x + (-2) + (2) > -2 + (2)
x>0
All numbers greater than 0 make this
problem true!
More Examples
4+y≤1
4 + y + (-4) ≤ 1 + (-4)
y ≤ -3
All numbers from -3 down (including -3)
make this problem true!
There is one special case.
● Sometimes you may have to reverse the
direction of the inequality sign!!
● That only happens when you
multiply or divide both sides of the
inequality by a negative number.
Example:
Solve: -3y + 5 >23
●Subtract 5 from each side.
-5 -5
-3y > 18
-3
-3 ●Divide each side by negative 3.
y < -6 ●Reverse the inequality sign.
●Graph the solution.

Remember Absolute Value
Ex: Solve 6x-3 = 15
6x-3 = 15 or 6x-3 = -15
6x = 18 or 6x = -12
x = 3 or x = -2
* Plug in answers to check your solutions!
Ex: Solve 2x + 7 -3 = 8
Get the abs. value part by itself first!
2x+7 = 11
Now split into 2 parts.
2x+7 = 11 or 2x+7 = -11
2x = 4 or 2x = -18
x = 2 or x = -9

Sean earns $6.70 per hour working after school. He needs
at least $155 (≥ 155) for a stereo system. Write an
inequality that describes how many hours he must work to
reach his goal.
To figure your pay check:
Per means to multiply
You multiply rate times hours worked
$6.70 h ≥ 155
$6.70
$6.70
h  23.1343
h  24
So 23 hours
is not enough
So Sean must
Work 24 hours

Per means to multiply
You multiply rate times hours worked
$6.85 h ≥ 310
