Transcript 6-1 Solving Inequalities by Addition and Subtraction
GOAL: Solve linear inequalities by using
addition and subtraction.
What is the difference in =, <, >, <, >.
= means equals they are the same like 7 = 7.
< means less than like 7 < 9.
> means greater than like 7 > 5.
< means less than or equal to like 7 < 7 or 7 <
9
> means greater than or equal to like 7 > 7 or
7 > 5.
NOW LETS LOOK AT AN EQUATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
t – 45 < 13.
The first step is to add
45 to both sides.
We get t = 58.
The first step is to add
45 to both sides.
We get t < 58.
This is a easy one step
equation.
We solved for t.
Don’t let the sign throw
you off it is still a one
step equation that is
being solved for t.
t – 45 = 13
t – 45 < 13
If any number is added to each side of a true
inequality, the resulting inequality is also
true.
For all numbers a, b, and c, the following are
true.
1. If a > b, then a + c > b + c.
2. If a < b, then a + c < b + c.
Example: 2 < 7
2+6<7+6
8 < 13
Solve 7 < x – 4. Then graph it on a number
line.
7<x–4
Original inequality
7 + 4 < x – 4 + 4 add 4 to each side.
11 < x
Solved (done but have to graph).

If any number is subtracted from each side of
a true inequality, the resulting inequality is
also true.
For all numbers a, b, and c, the following are
true.
1. If a > b, then a - c > b - c.
2. If a < b, then a - c < b - c.
Example: 17 > 8
17 - 5 > 8 - 5
12 > 3
Solve 5p + 7 > 6p. Then graph the solution.
5p + 7 > 6p original inequality
5p + 7 – 5p > 6p - 5p subtracted 5p from both
sides.
7> p DONE (BUT HAVE TO GRAPH!!!!!!!)
Our first step is to
Then we can solve.
Write
Equation
this as an
.
It is written
X + 13 < 27.
The next step is to (add or subtract) and what
do we subtract (13 or x).
We do subtract 13.
If we subtract 13 from one side we must
subtract 13 from the other
.
SIDE
X + 13 -13 < 27 - 13
Then we combine the like terms 27 and a
subtracted 13 (because the 13 was added to
the other side). And we GET that 27 – 13 is
14
.
Our answer is x < 14.
Let Check it take any number smaller than 14
and plug it in to the problem. Pick any
number again less than 14. I say 13.
13+13=26 so is 26 < 27.
YES
IT IS!!!!!
We have just work a problem together now
its your turn by yourself.
