6-1 and 6-2 Solving Inequalities
Algebra 1 Glencoe McGraw-Hill Linda Stamper
For this lesson you will need a
ruler
and a colored pencil.

What is the name for the
geometric figure that
represents the solution?
The graph of an inequality in one variable is the set of points on a number line that represent all solutions of the inequality.
ray 4x 4
If the endpoint on the graph is a solution, draw a solid dot.
If the endpoint on the graph is not a solution, draw an open dot.
Then draw an arrowhead to show that the graph continues to infinity.
endpoint
Graphing an Inequality in One Variable
1. Write inequality.
7
•x < 7
2. Draw a line (use arrowheads).
3. Draw open or solid dot and label the endpoint.
4. Draw the ray in the direction of the inequality symbol.
7 > x Rewrite with variable first.
You do NOT need to draw in
the tick marks.
A solution of an inequality is a value for the variable that makes the inequality true.
You can add or subtract inequalities just like you add or subtract equations.
To solve an inequality isolate the variable on one side of the inequality symbol. Follow the basic rule:
Whatever you do to one side of the inequality sign, you must also do to the other side of the
inequality sign.
Solve x – 6 > –14. Then graph the solution.
Write the inequality. 14 6 x
Isolate the variable using inverse operations.

How many solutions are there to an inequality problem?

The authors of your text use set-builder notation to write the solution. }8 x x{
The set of all numbers x such that x is greater than or equal to -8.
Solve. Then graph the solution.

If you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality symbol is reversed.

If you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a positive number, the direction of the inequality symbol is unchanged.

The inequality symbol reverses direction when you divide by a negative number.

An inequality symbol points to the smaller
number.
