Properties of Inequality

• The properties of inequality are very similar to the properties of equality, but with one important exception

• Consider the integers and

• The inequality is true since is located to the left of

• Suppose that we multiply each side of this inequality by

• The numbers then become and

• But now, the inequality is false

Properties of Inequality

• We can make the inequality true by changing the inequality sign

Properties of Inequality

• We can use the following properties to solve inequalities

• If a, b, and c are real numbers with , then

Property Meaning

You can add the same value to both sides

You can subtract the same value from both sides

You can multiply both sides by the same positive value

You can divide both sides by the same positive value

Properties of Inequality

• These last two properties are special to inequalities

• If a, b, and c are real numbers with , then

• The same properties apply for

Property Meaning

You can multiply each side by the same negative number by changing the inequality sign

You can divide both sides by the same negative number by changing the inequality sign

Example: Solve an Inequality with Variable Terms on Each Side

Page 8: Solving Linear Inequalities Chapter 1.6 Part 3. Properties of Inequality

Example: Solve an Inequality with Variable Terms on Each SideIf we pick a value in the shaded area (for example, 0) we end up with a true statement:

If we pick a value to the right of 3 (for example, 4) we get a false statement:

The statement is false because 4 is not a solution.

Solving Compound Inequalities

• Remember that compound inequalities are actually made of two inequalities

• Solving compound inequalities amounts to solving each part

• In the case of a conjunction in the form , you will simply add/subtract or multiply/divide all three parts

Example: Solving a Disjunction Inequality

Solve Solve each part separately and keep “or” in the final answer.

Example: Solve a Conjunction Inequality

Solve .Remember that you want the x alone between the two inequality signs. Begin by adding 10 three times…
