Again you will use your equation skills
1.
Do
Distributive Property first (if necessary) do it carefully
2.
Combine
like terms on each side of the “WALL”
3.
“JUMP”
the variables to one side of the wall—that is get all the variables on one side
of the inequality by using the Additive Inverse Property (add or subtract using
the opposite sign of the variable term, constants second by adding or
subtracting
4.
Do it
just like a 2 step or 1 step equation but remember; FLIP THE SYMBOL if you multiply or divide by
a NEGATIVE to balance
5.
If you
end up with the variable on the right side, SWITCH the SIDES and the SYMBOL
REMINDERS:
Set builder notation
Get familiar with the following notation
{x│ x≥ 5} is read “ x SUCH THAT c is greater than or equal
to 5”
Checking your solutions is an important set. Many students
skip this step! Checking the solutions is especially important with
inequalities because the direction of the inequality sign is often changed when
writing solutions in set builder notation.
