Solving Inequalities by Adding or Subtracting COURSE 2 LESSON 2-9 Solve d + 9 < 8. Graph the solution. d + 9 < 8 d + 9 – 9 < 8 – 9 Subtract 9 from each side. d < –1 Simplify. 2-9
Solving Inequalities by Adding or Subtracting COURSE 2 LESSON 2-9 The Drama Club can spend no more than $120 for costumes. They already spent $79. How much more can they spend for costumes? < – Words amount spent plus amount spent is at most 120 already on costumes Let c = amount the Drama Club can spend on costumes. Inequality 79 + c 120 79 + c 120 79 – 79 + c 120 – 79 Subtract 79 from each side. < – c 41 Simplify. < – They can spend at most $41. 2-9
