k Solving an inequality means finding values for the variable that make the inequality true. k You can solve inequalities by using the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Inequalities (pg. 345) This is the same concept as using the Addition/Subtraction Properties of Equations (Lesson 3-3 pgs ) k Solving an inequality means finding values for the variable that make the inequality true. k You can solve inequalities by using the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Inequalities (pg. 345) This is the same concept as using the Addition/Subtraction Properties of Equations (Lesson 3-3 pgs )

Example 1: Solving an Inequality using Subtraction Solve -13  9 + b Check your solution Write the inequality: -13  9 + b Subtract 9 from each side: -13  9 + b Simplify: -22  b or b  -22 To check your solution, try any number less than or equal to -22 Check using -22: -13  9 + (-22) -13  -13  Check: using   -21  Check using -20: -13   -11

Example 2: Solving an Inequality using Addition Solve a - 5  6 Check your solution Write the inequality: a - 5  6 Add 5 to both sides: a - 5  Simplify: a  11 Check your result by using any number greater than 11 Check using 12:  6 7  6  Check using 32:  6 27  6  Check using 7:  6 2  6

Example 3: Graph Solutions of Inequalities Solve h + 4  4 Then graph the solution on a number line. Write the inequality: h + 4  4 Subtract 4 from each side: h + 4  h  0 The solution is h  0 Check: any number greater than 0 I’m using  4 5  4  Now graph the solution On a number line. Done on board in class.

Example 4: Use an Inequality to Solve a Problem Chris is saving money for a ski trip. He has $62.50, but his goal is to save at least $100. What is the least amount Chris needs to save to reach his goal? Explore: We need to find the least amount Chris needs to save Plan: Let x represent the amount he needs to save. Write an inequality to represent the problem. Remember at least means greater than or equal to. x  100 Solve: x  x  So the least amount that Chris needs to save is $37.50

Your Turn! Solve the inequality, graph your solution, do a check A.c - (-2)  3 B.25  n + (-12) C.g - 1  2 D.k + 9  -21 A.c - (-2)  3 B.25  n + (-12) C.g - 1  2 D.k + 9  c + 2  3 Check using (-2)  3 c  1 1  3  25  n + (-12) Check using  40 + (-12) 37 < n, n   28  g  Check using  2 g  3 2  2  k + 9  -21 Check using  -30 k   -30  5656
