Exercise 4 Page 61

Practice makes perfect
a

Let's solve each inequality using addition and subtraction. We can subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the x.

x+3<4
x+3-3<4-3
x<1

b

We can add 3 to both sides to isolate the x.

x-3≥5
x-3+3≥5+3
x≥8

c

We can add 2 to both sides to isolate the x.

4>x-2
4+2>x-2+2
6>x
x<6

d

We can subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the x.

-2≤ x+1
-2-1≤ x+1-1
-3≤ x
x≥-3
