6-‐6 : Solving Systems of Linear
Inequalities
System of Linear Inequalities (System
of Inequalities) -‐
Solution of a System of
Inequalities -‐
To solve a system of inequalities,
we are going solve by graphing,
like we did on the ;irst
day.
The major difference is instead of
having _________ solution we will
have a _______________ of solutions.
We will graph much like we
learned how to last class
period.
The biggest difference for a
linear inequality is the appearance
of the graph.
The Line: When graphing the line
of an inequality:
If the inequality has a
or use
a .
If the inequality has a <
or > use a .
The Shading: When graphing a
linear inequality we need to
shade our graph to represent
our _________________ set.
If the inequality has a <
or shade .
If the inequality has a
> or shade
.
Ex. 1 Determine in the following
systems the kind of line/shading
each line has:

To ;ind the solution to a
system of inequalities we want
to look for where the
________________ of each line
______________________.
The solution will be where
____________ shadings overlap. Remember
the ______________ to an inequality
is a ______________________.
It is possible for a system
of linear inequalities to have
___________ solution.
This means that the
______________________ does not overlap
at all.
To solve a system of
Inequalities:1. _____________ each equation
is ________-‐_______________ form.
2. ______________ each equation on
the coordinate plane.
If the inequality has a
or use
a .
If the inequality has a <
or > use a .
If the inequality has a <
or shade .
If the inequality has a >
or shade
.
3. ________________ the graph according
to the inequalities
4. The _________________ to the
system is where the _______________
overlaps.

Application problems:
The theater club is selling
shirts. They have only enough
supplies to print 120 shirts.
They will sell sweatshirts for
$22 and T-‐shirts for $15, with
a goal of at least $2000
in sales.
A. De;ine the variables, and write
a system of inequalities to
represent this situation.
B. Graph the system:
C. Name one possible solution.
D. Is (45, 30) a solution?
