Solving and Graphing Inequalities

Inequalities

So... what is an inequality? That's definitely not a term that we use everyday!

Let's break this word down, so that we really understand it! The term equality means that something is equal (=). Our previous unit on solving equations dealt with equalities.

So... let's think about what the prefix in means in inequality. The prefix in means "not". So, an inequality means "not equal". Can you think of other signs in math that you've used besides an equals sign?

Yes, if something is not equal, then it is greater than (>) or less than (<). Those are the symbols that we are going to be using in this unit of Solving and Graphing Inequalities!

    What People Are Saying...

    "I'd like to start off by relaying my sincerest gratitude for your dedication in teaching algebra. Your methodology is by far the simplest to follow, primarily because you take the time to include the small steps in between that most other teachers leave out.

    It helps to know why you are doing something. I am 45 and heading to college to get my BS in Business. I need to brush up, hence the visit to your site. Great Job!"

    "I stumbled onto your site after I found out that I needed to use some fundamental algebra for an assignment. Turns out I had forgotten some things and your great site helped me remember them like "that" (snap of fingers). The organization of the site let me find exactly what I was looking for so easily. Kudos to you for maintaining such a great resource for students of all ages!"

I wanted to brush up on my Algebra skills and I stumbled upon your site. I'm amazed at how simple you make it and how fast I'm remembering Algebra! I don't remember getting most of the answers right when I had an actual teacher in front of me teaching this. Thanks a lot!"
