EXAMPLE
Write and graph an inequality
Death Valley
The highest temperature recorded in the United States
was 134°F at Death Valley, California, in 1913. Use
only this fact to write and graph an inequality that
describes the temperatures in the United States.
SOLUTION
Let T represent a temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit)
in the United States. The value of T must be less than
or equal to 134. So, an inequality is T ≤ 134.

Write an inequality represented by the graph.
a.
SOLUTION
a.
The open circle means that –6.5 is not a solution of
the inequality. Because the arrow points to the
right, all numbers greater than –6.5 are solutions.
ANSWER
An inequality represented by the graph is x > –6.5.

Solve an inequality using addition
Solve x – 5 > –3.5. Graph your solution.
x – 5 > –3.5
x – 5 + 5 > –3.5 + 5
x > 1.5
Write original inequality.
Add 5 to each side.
Simplify.
ANSWER
The solutions are all real numbers greater
than 1.5. Check by substituting a number
greater than 1.5 for x in the original
inequality.
