Solving Inequalities by Adding or Subtracting

This topic covers the concept of solving inequalities by adding or subtracting.Word problems of a similar kind are also covered.

Topic: Solving Inequalities by Adding

  • When you add or subtract the same number on both sides of an inequality, the resulting statement will still be true

  • An open circle on the graph represents that the corresponding number is not a part of the solution set

  • A closed circle on the graph represents that the corresponding value is part of the solution set

Topic: Solving Inequalities by Subtracting

  • When you add or subtract the same number on both sides of an inequality, the resulting statement will still be true

  • Check the solution to an inequality by choosing any number in the solution set and substituting it into the original inequality

Topic: Word Problems

  • When you add or subtract the same number on both sides of an inequality, the resulting statement will still be true
