6. Solve Inequalities by Addition or Subtraction

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 16 Page 502

What can you do to isolate a variable in an inequality?

x > c - b

Practice makes perfect

Inequalities can be solved in the same way as equations, by performing inverse operations on both sides until the variable is isolated. Here, to isolate x, we will use the Subtraction Property of Equality.

x + b > c

SubIneq

LHS-b>RHS-b

x + b - b > c - b

SubTerms

Subtract terms

x > c - b
