Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 3-8Solving Two-Step Inequalities AF4.1 Solve two-step linear equations and inequalities in one variable over the rational numbers, interpret the solution or solutions in the context from which they arose, and verify the reasonableness of the results. California Standards

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 3-8Solving Two-Step Inequalities When you solved two-step equations, you used the order of operations in reverse to isolate the variable. You can use the same process when solving two-step inequalities.

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 3-8Solving Two-Step Inequalities Solve and graph. Additional Example 1A: Solving Two-Step Inequalities 4x + 1 > 13 – 1 – 1Since 1 is added to 4x, subtract 1 from both sides. 4x > 12 4x4x 4 > 12 4 Since x is multiplied by 4, divide both sides by 4. x >

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 3-8Solving Two-Step Inequalities Additional Example 1A Continued Check x > 3 4 > 3 ? Substitute 4 for x. According to the graph 4 should be a solution and 2 should not be a solution. So 4 is a solution. x > 3 2 > 3 ? Substitute 2 for x. So 2 is not a solution. 

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 3-8Solving Two-Step Inequalities If both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality symbol must be reversed. Remember!

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 3-8Solving Two-Step Inequalities Additional Example 1B: Solving Two-Step Inequalities –9x + 7  25 – 7 – 7Subtract 7 from both sides. –9x  18 –9x –9  18 –9 Divide each side by –9; change  to . x  –2x  – Solve and graph.

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 3-8Solving Two-Step Inequalities Additional Example 3: School Application A school’s Spanish club is selling bumper stickers. They bought 100 bumper stickers for $55, and they have to give the company 15 cents for every sticker sold. If they plan to sell each bumper sticker for $1.25, how many do they have to sell to make a profit? In order for the Spanish club to make a profit, the revenue must be greater than the cost. 1.25x > x
