Key Topics to Revise

1

Core Ideas and Definitions

  • An inequality shows that two expressions are not equal.
  • An inequation is an inequality involving at least one variable.
  • A linear inequation is an inequation with only one variable.
2

Properties of Inequations

  • Adding the same number to each side of an inequation does not change the inequality.
  • Subtracting the same number from each side of an inequation does not change the inequality.
  • Multiplying each side by the same positive number does not change the inequality.
3

Replacement Set and Solution Set Examples

  • For x ≤ 6, x ∈ N, the solution set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
  • For x > 10, x ∈ N, the solution set is {11, 12, 13, 14, ...}.
  • For y ≤ 3, y ∈ W, the solution set is {0, 1, 2, 3}.
4

Solving Inequations: Worked Examples

  • Simplify both sides carefully.
  • Use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to isolate the variable.
  • Reverse the sign only for negative multiplication or division.
