Writing and Graphing One-Variable Inequalities

$$\begin{array}{c}\dots \ge \dots \end{array}$$ To find the expression on the left-hand side of the inequality sign, we substitute the information that comes before the phrase "greater than or equal to." In this case, we are given $v.$ $$\begin{array}{c}v\ge \dots \end{array}$$ For the right-hand side of the inequality sign, we should substitute the information given that comes after greater than or equal to, which is $5.$ $$v\ge 5$$

$$\begin{array}{c}\dots <\dots \end{array}$$ To find the expression on the left-hand side of the inequality sign, we substitute the information that comes before the phrase less than. In this case, we are given $b.$ $$\begin{array}{c}b<\dots \end{array}$$ For the right-hand side of the inequality sign, we should substitute the information given that comes after less than, which is $4.$ $$b<4$$
