 Linear equations and
Inequalities
Equation and Inequalities are relations
between two quantities.
.Inequality is a mathematical sentence indicating
that two expressions are not equal. The symbols
<, >, are used to denote inequality.

Ex.
3 + 2 4 is an inequality
If two expressions are unequal, then their
relationship can be any of the following, >, , < or
.
Properties of
Inequality
Properties of Inequality

Let a, b and c be real numbers.

Note: The properties of inequalities will still hold

true using the relation symbol and .
A. Addition Property

If a < b, then a + c < b + c

Ex. If 2 < 3, then 2 + 1 < 3 + 1

B. Subtraction Property

If a < b, then a c < b c

Ex. If 2 < 3, then 2 1 < 3 1

C. Multiplication Property

If a < b and c > 0, then ac < bc

IF a < b and c < 0, then ac > bc

Ex. If 2 < 3, then (2)(2) < (3)(2)

If 2 < 3, then (2)(-2) > (3)(-2)
D. Division Property

If a < b and c > 0, then a/c < b/c

If a < b and c < 0, then a/c > b/c

Ex. If 2 < 3, then 2/3 < 3/3

If 2 < 3, then 2/-3 > 3/-3
Solving Linear
Inequalities
. The solution set o inequalities maybe
represented on a number line.
Recall that a solution of a linear
inequality in one variable is a real number
which makes the inequality true.
Example:
1. Graph x > 6 on a number line

O x>6
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

The ray indicates the solution set of x > 6

2. Graph the solution set x -1 on a number
line.
x -1
-2 -1 0 1

The ray indicates that the solution set of x

-1 consist of all the numbers less than or
equal to -1. The solid circle of -1 indicates
that -1 is included in the solution set.
