Solving Equations/ Inequalities
ESSENTIAL PROPERTY OF
EQUATIONS/INEQUALITIES
:

Whatever you do to one side, you
must do to the other.
How do we know what one step
operation to perform?

Every operation has an
opposite operation to
“undo” it

SOLVING :



Find all values for the variable that make
the equation/inequality true
identify what operation is being used with
the variable, and what partner operation will
undo it.
keep track of negative signs
SOLVING AN INEQUALITY USING
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION:

 The rules for solving an EQUATION
and an INEQUALITY when you are
adding or subtracting are the SAME.
