4. 1) Graph the solution set of x < 3.
When you have < or >, use an open dot!

5. 2) Graph the solution set of y ≥ -5/4.•
When you have ≤ or ≥, use a closed dot!
Converting -5/4 to a decimal =

6. 3) Graph the solution set of p ≠ 2.
When you have ≠, use an open dot and shade both ways!

7. 4) Which inequality would have a closed dot on the number line?
>
< ≥ ≠

9. 6) Solve x + (-14) < 16 x - 14 < 16 + 14 + 14 x < 30
x < 30
30 + (-14) = 16
16 = 16
Solve this problem like an equation
Draw “the river”
Eliminate double signs
Add 14 to both sides
Simplify
Check your answer
Graph the solution o 30 31 29

10. 7) Solve y + 21 ≥ 7 y ≥ -14 30 + (-14) = 16 16 = 16 ● - 21 -21 -14 -13
y ≥ -14
30 + (-14) = 16
16 = 16
Draw the “river”
Subtract 21 from both sides
Simplify

14. Rules for Solving Inequalities
You can add the same number (positive or negative) to each side of the inequality
You can subtract the same number (positive or negative) from each side of the inequality
You can multiply OR divide both sides of an inequality by a positive number
WHEN YOU MULTIPLY OR DIVIDE EACH SIDE OF THE INEQUALITY BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER YOU MUST CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL!

15. 1) Solve > 13 -4 · k < 13 · -4 -4 k < -52 o -52 -51 -53
Draw “the river”
Clear the fraction - Multiply both sides by -4
NEW STEP!! When multiplying BOTH sides by a NEGATIVE number, SWITCH the inequality!
Simplify
Check your answer
Graph the solution
k < -52 o
-52
-51
-53

16. 2) When solving > -10 will the inequality switch?
Yes!
No!
I still don’t know!

17. 2) Solve < -10 x < -30 3 • x < -10 • 3 3 o -30 -29 -31
Draw “the river”
Clear the fraction - Multiply both sides by 3. Do you switch the inequality?
No - Both sides are being multiplied by a positive number
Simplify
Check your answer
Graph the solution

-31

18. 3) Solve x > -24 -4 • -a > 6 • -4 -4 o -24 -23 -25
Draw “the river”
Clear the fraction - Multiply both sides by -4. Do you switch the inequality?
Yes - Both sides are being multiplied by a negative number
Simplify
