10. V OCABULARY An equation is formed when an equal sign (=) is placed between two expressions creating a left and a right side of the equation An equation that contains one or more variables is called an open sentence When a variable in a single-variable equation is replaced by a number the resulting statement can be true or false If the statement is true, the number is a solution of an equation Substituting a number for a variable in an equation to see whether the resulting statement is true or false is called checking a possible solution

11. I NEQUALITIES Another type of open sentence is called an inequality. An inequality is formed when and inequality sign is placed between two expressions A solution to an inequality are numbers that produce a true statement when substituted for the variable in the inequality

12. I NEQUALITY S YMBOLS Listed below are the 4 inequality symbols and their meaning <Less than ≤Less than or equal to >Greater than ≥Greater than or equal to Note: We will be working with inequalities throughout this course…and you are expected to know the difference between equalities and inequalities

16. W RITING LINEAR INEQUALITIES Bob hopes that his next math test grade will be higher than his current average. His first three test scores were 77, 83, and 86. Why would an inequality be best in this case? How can we come up with this inequality? Graph!

17. S OLVING ONE - STEP LINEAR INEQUALITIES Equivalent Inequalities Two or more inequalities with exactly the same solution Manipulating Inequalities All of the same rules apply to inequalities as equations * When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, we have to switch the inequality! Less than becomes greater than, etc.
