The document summarizes key concepts about linear inequalities: 1) Any statement problem can be translated into an inequality using ≥, >, ≤, or < signs between the left and right sides of an equation. 2) When solving linear inequalities, the same properties apply as for linear equations except the inequality sign must be reversed if multiplying or dividing by a negative number. 3) Two examples demonstrate solving linear inequalities algebraically and representing the solution sets on number lines, showing closed and open intervals.

By Using Inequalities ???
≥ > ≤ <
• i.e., using equations which have the following
signs between L.H.S And R.H.S

• For eg :- 40x + 20y ≥ 120


Properties of Inequalities.
 Essentially, all of the properties that you learned
to solve linear equations apply to solving linear
inequalities with the exception that if you
multiply or divide by a negative you must
reverse the inequality sign.

 So to solve an inequality just do the same steps


as with an equality to get the variable alone but if
in the process you multiply or divide by a negative
let it ring an alarm in your brain that says "Oh
yeah, I have to turn the sign the other way to
keep it true".
Example: 2x  6  4x  8
- 4x - 4x
 2x  6  8
+ 6 +6
 2 x  14
-2 -2

Solving Linear Inequalities On A Number Line
Q1 » » Solve and Show solution on Number Line 7x +3 < 5x +9
Sol » » 7x – 5x < 9 – 3 » 2x < 6 » x < 3

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Point to note : - If the equality had been 7x +3 ≤ 5x +9 the the
number line would had been like this

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

It is important to notice the open or closed interval , which has to be


used according to the sign between the inequality
What about solving this one

2 ≤ 3x – 4 ≤ 5
Q1 » » Solve and Show solution on Number Line 2 ≤ 3x – 4 ≤
5 Sol » »
2 ≤ 3x – 4 ≤ 5 » 2 + 4 ≤. 3x ≤ 5 + 4 »
» 6 ≤ 3x ≤ 9 » 2 ≤ x ≤ 3 the solution for given
inequality is all nos. between
2 and 3 including 2 & 3
(observe the type of interval )
