Welcome to the fascinating world of algebraic inequalities! Here you'll discover how to solve, graph, and understand inequalities. They're like equations' cooler, more mysterious cousin.
Inequalities illustrate relationships that are not necessarily equal. They show us values that are greater than, less than, or not equal to each other. Here are the basic symbols used:
To solve an inequality, treat it like an equation, but remember the golden rule: If you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, flip the inequality sign!
Let's take a look at an example:
Solve 2x - 3 < 7:
2x < 10
x < 5
