LINEAR INEQUALITIES
OBJECTIVES
In Mathematics, we sue the equals sign, =, to show that quantities are the
same. However, quantities can often be different, or unequal.
For example, a mother is always older than her child. Their ages are always
different. We say that there is inequality in their ages.
Example I: The distance between two villages is over 18km. Write this as
an algebraic statement.
Solution:
LINEAR INEQUALITIES
The inequality x < 2 means that x can have any value less than 2. We can
show these on the number line below:
x
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2
The heavy arrowed line in the figure above shows the range of values that x
can have. The empty circle at 2 shows that the value 2 is not included, x can
have any value to the left of 2.
The inequality x ≥ - 1 means that x can have – 1 or any value greater than –
1. The figure below shows its graph
x
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2
The shaded circle in the figure above shows that the value – 1 is included.
x
-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
Solution:
The shaded circle at 4 shows that the value x = 4 is included.
The heavy line to the left of 4 shows that x can have values in the range
x ≤ 4.
Thus the figure above is the graph of:
x≤4
Example II: The figure below shows a graph of a linear inequality in one
variable. What is the inequality?
x
-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
Solution:
Thus the figure above is the graph of:
x<3
Example III: The figure below shows a graph of a linear inequality in one
variable. What is the inequality?
x
-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
Solution:
Thus the figure above is the graph of
x>1

BALANCE METHOD
Consider a compound in which 23 people live. At any one time there may
be x people in the compound. If all 23 people are in the compound, then
x = 23. This is an equation. If some people have left the compound, then
x < 23. This is an inequality.
Solution:
x+4<6
x+4–4<6–4
Note: What you do to the right side you must do the same thing to the
left side so as to balance the equation.

4. 3x + 1 < 13
5. x + 9 > 3
Example IV: Find the values of x that satisfy the inequality 3x – 3 > 7,
such that x is an integer.
NOTE: an integer is any whole number and – 5, - 4, - 1, 0, 4, 7, 22 etc.
are examples of integer.
Solution: 3x – 3 > 7
Add 3 to both sides
3x – 3 + 3 > 7 + 3
3x > 10
Divide both sides by 3
x > 31/3
4x – 7 + 7 < 9 + 7
4x < 16
Divide both sides by 4
x <4
But x is an integer. Thus x can have values 3, 2, 1, 0 , - 1, ……
Hence, x = 3, 2, 1, 0, - 1, ……
Example VI: Find the values of x that satisfy the inequality 3x + 20 > 4,
such that x is an integer.
Solution: 3x + 20 > 4
Subtract 20 from both sides
3x + 20 – 20 > 4 – 20
3x > -16
Divide both sides by 3

But x is an integer. Thus x can have values – 4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1 …

Example VI: Find the values of x that satisfy the inequality 3x - 8 ≤ 5x,
such that x is an integer.
Solution: 3x - 8 ≤ 5x
Add 8 to both sides
3x - 8 + 8 ≤ 5x + 8
3x ≤ 5x + 8
Subtract 5x from both sides
3x – 5x ≤ 5x – 5x + 8
- 2x ≤ 8
Divide through by – 2
x≥-4
Hence, x = - 4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2,……

SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS INVOLVING INEQUALITIES
Example I: A triangle has sides of x cm, (x + 4) cm and 11 cm, where x is
a whole number of cm. If the perimeter of the triangle is less than 32cm,
find the possible value of x.
Solution:
NOTE: In finding the perimeter of any shape, you are to add up all the
sides of the shape.
Perimeter of triangle = x + (x + 4) + 11
Thus, x + x + 4 + 11 < 32
2x + 15 < 32
Subtract 15 from both sides
2x + 15 – 15 < 32 – 15
2x < 17
Divide through by 2
2 x 17

Also in any triangle the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be gratere
than the length of the third side.
Thus, x + x + 4 > 11
2x + 4 > 11
2x > 11 – 4
2x > 7
2x 7

7 1
x or 3
2 2
Thus x < 8½ and x > 3½. But x must be a whole number of cm.
Thus, the possible values of x are:
4, 5, 6, 7 or 8
Check:
When x = 4, perimeter = 4 + 8 + 11
= 23 cm
When x = 8, perimeter = 8 + 12 + 11 cm
= 31 cm
We have checked the lowest and highest values of x in both cases, the
perimeter are less than 32 cm.
Example II: A man gets a weekly wage of N x. His rent per week is
N 8 000. After paying his rent, he is left with less than N 20 000.
Spent = 8 000
Thus,
x – 8000 < 20000
x < N 28 000
Example III: A rectangle is x cm long and 10cm wide. Find the range of
values of x if the area of the rectangle is not less than 120cm2.
Solution:
Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth
Since the length is x cm and the Breadth is 10cm
We are told that the area is not less than 120cm2. So if it is not less
than, then it would be grater than or equal to
x × 10 ≥ 120
10x ≥ 120
Divide through by 10
x ≥ 12
