What to Focus On

  • Equation means equality.
  • Inequation means less than or greater than relation.
  • Linear inequation has variables only in first degree.

  • Left on number line means smaller number.
  • Right on number line means larger number.
  • < and > do not include the endpoint.

  • Replacement set is the set of allowed values.
  • Solution set is the set of values that satisfy the inequation.
  • Solution set always depends on the replacement set.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If both sides of an inequation are multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality sign stays the same.

The solution set of x<4 is always the same, no matter what replacement set is used.

When a term moves from one side of an inequation to the other, the inequality sign must also change.
