Properties of Properties of InequalitiesInequalities

1. If 1. If a, ba, b, and , and cc are real numbers, and if are real numbers, and if and , and , then then

2.2. To solve inequalities, you can add or subtract To solve inequalities, you can add or subtract the same number to both sides of the inequality:the same number to both sides of the inequality:IfIf , then , then . .

3. To solve inequalities, you can multiply or divide 3. To solve inequalities, you can multiply or divide by the same number on both sides. by the same number on both sides. However,However, if if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you number, you the inequality. the inequality.Example: Multiply both sides of Example: Multiply both sides of by -1 and by -1 and see what happens!see what happens!

When solving compound sentences When solving compound sentences where the variable is in the middle of where the variable is in the middle of two inequalities, set it up like an two inequalities, set it up like an andand problem to solve. Combine your problem to solve. Combine your inequalities into one statement at the inequalities into one statement at the end.end.

When solving a compound sentence When solving a compound sentence that is an that is an oror problem, solve each problem, solve each inequality and then graph them both.inequality and then graph them both.
