Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
Solving inequalities involving more than one operation can be solved by undoing the operations in the same way you would solve an equation with more than one step.
Science The inequality F > 212 represents the
temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit for which water is
a gas (steam). Similarly, the inequality
represents the temperatures in degrees Celsius for
which water is a gas. Find the temperature in degrees
Celsius for which water is a gas.
Solve a Real-World Problem
Answer: Water will be a gas for all temperaturesgreater than 100°C.
Original inequality
Subtract 32 from each side.
Simplify.
Multiply each side by

Science The boiling point of helium is –452°F. Solve
the inequality to find the temperatures
in degrees Celsius for which helium is a gas.
Answer: Helium will be a gas for all temperatures greater than –268.9°C.

Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
If solving an inequality results in a statement that is always true, the solution is all real numbers.
If solving an inequality results in a statement that is never true, the solution is the empty set . The empty set has no members.
Answer: Since the inequality results in a falsestatement, the solution set is the empty set Ø.
