8/8/ The solution of an inequality is the set of numbers that you can substitute for the variable to make the inequality true. An inequality is a mathematical sentence formed by placing an inequality symbol between two expressions. Bumper Cars You must be at least 130cm tall to ride the bumper cars. This can be represented by the inequality h  130. In the Real World The graph of an inequality in one variable is the set of points on a number line that represents the solution of the inequality.
