solving linear
inequalities is “quite”
similar to solving
linear inequalities.
 Properties of Inequality
ADDITION PROPERTY of INEQUALITY
“adding” the same number to each side of the inequality produces
an equivalent inequality

 Compound Inequality

• When two inequalities are combined into one statement,

the result is called a compound inequality.
• The words “and” and “or” are used to describe the
relationship between the two inequalities.
