Linear Inequalities

Linear inequalities is a rather simple concept to master and one should face no trouble with figuring out what the problem entails.

NOTE: If one divides or multiplies by negative (-) number, the sign must be reversed. THIS IS CRUCIAL TO OBTAINING THE RIGHT ANSWER!
> this stands for greater than
< this stands for less than
≤ this stands for less than or equal to
≥ this stands for greater than or equal to


Ex. 1:
5x+4<9
the x's goes on one side, while the integers go onto the other side
5x <5
you have to divide by 5
X <1 -This is the answer
