Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to solve inequalities and graph them on a number line.
What do you already know about inequalities and their graphs?
Understanding Inequalities
Inequalities show the relative size between two values. Symbols: <, >, ≤, ≥.
Solving Linear Inequalities
To solve, isolate the variable using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line
Use an open circle for < or >. Use a closed circle for ≤ or ≥. Shade the solution area.
