Remember:
When graphing an inequality, use a dot to show
that a number isin the solution set. Use a circle
to show that a number is notin the solution set.

As with integers, you can graph the solution set of an

inequality with rational numbers on a real-number line.

Solve: x 4 Graph:

x  4  Add to both sides.

x 4  Rename using the LCD.

x 5 Simplify.

According to the graph, 5 is nota solution,
and 5 isa solution.

Check:Try x5.

5  4 Substitute 5 for x. Simplify.

4 4 False

So the solution of x4 is x 5.

Sometimes when solving an inequality, you may need to

combine like terms.

Solve: 8.1 c 2 c10.2 Graph:
8.1 ( 1 2)c10.2

8.1 c10.2 Simplify.
8.1 8.1c10.2 8.1 Subtract 8.1 from both sides.
c2.1

Check:Try c2.
8.1  2 2(2) 10.2 Substitute 2 for c.
8.1  2  4 10.2 Simplify.
10.1 10.2 Tr u e

So the solution set is all numbers less than 2.1.

Use the Distributive
Property to combine
like terms.
