A solution of an inequality in one variable is a value of the variable that makes the inequality true. Equivalent inequalities have the same solutions. EXAMPLE: x 5 and 5 x are equivalent inequalities.

PROPERTIES OF INEQUALITYAddition Property of Inequality For all real numbers a , b, and c : If a > b , then a + c > b + c If a < b , then a + c < b + c Subtraction Property of Inequality For all real numbers a , b, and c : If a > b , then a - c > b - c If a < b , then a - c < b - c

Write an Inequalitywith One Variable. Real-World Connection: Page 105: Nearly 32 megabytes (MB) of memory are available for running your computer. If its basic system requires 12.1 MB, how much memory is available for other programs? Memory for basic system PLUS Memory for other programs IS LESS THAN Total memory We don’t know m = memory available for other programs. 21.1 + m < 32 12.1 + m < 32 -12.1 -12.1 m < 19.9 There is LESS THAN 19.9 MB of memory available for other programs.

Ms. Dewey-Hoffman isflying to San Diego to see her parents. Southwest lets me check up to 65 pounds of luggage. My suitcase with your homework that I have to grade weighs 37 pounds. How much can my other suitcase, with my clothes and toothbrush, weigh? 1 st Suitcase: 37 Pounds PLUS 2 nd Suitcase: Unknown Weight IS LESS THAN Total weight of suitcases We don’t know the weight of the second suitcase, w. 37 + w < 65 -37 -37 w < 28 lb The 2 nd suitcase has to be no more than 28 pounds.

PROPERTIES OF INEQUALITYMultiplication Property of Inequality ( c < 0) For all real numbers a , b, and for c < 0: If a > b , then ac < bc If a < b , then ac > bc Division Property of Inequality ( c < 0) For all real numbers a , b, and c < 0: If a > b , then a ÷ c < b ÷ c If a < b , then a ÷ c > b ÷ c

Things to rememberabout Multiplying and Dividing Inequalities! Dividing both sides of an inequality by a POSITIVE number and the inequality stays the same. Dividing both sides of an inequality by a NEGATIVE number and the inequality flips and faces the other way. Multiply both sides of an inequality by a POSITIVE number and the inequality stays the same. Multiply both sides of an inequality by a NEGATIVE number and the inequality flips and faces the other way.

Example of InequalitiesFlipping 36 -9t -9 ÷ 36 -9t ÷ -9 -4 t If you get confused by flipping the inequality, instead, you can just flip the sides the numbers are on and keep the inequality the same. t/ -3 < 7 (-3)t/ -3 < 7(-3) t > -21
