linear inequalities

linear inequalities

Hello all, thanks you for coming again :) Now I'm going to teach you the topic about linear inequalities. But, before that, did you know the meaning of linear inequalities??

Okey~ Now i'am going to tell what is mean by linear inequalities..

What is linear inequalities?

At Wikipedia said that In mathematics a linear inequality is an Inequalities which involves a linear function. A linear inequality contains one of the symbols of inequality:


  • < is less than
  • > is greater than
  • ≤ is less than or equal to
  • ≥ is greater than or equal to
  • ≠ is not equal to
A linear inequality looks exactly like a linear equation, with the inequality sign replacing the equality sign.
Solving linear inequalities is almost exactly like solving linear equations.


1) Solve x + 3 < 0.

If they'd given me "x + 3 = 0", I'd have known how to solve: I would have subtracted 3 from both sides. I can do the same thing here:


      x < -3
So the answer is x < –3

2) Solve x - 3 ≤ 2


Step 1

Make "x" become single. mean..we move  "- 3" to the back of  "2"

Note : If we move "-" to the back, we must change the sign into "+" first!

≤ 2 + 3

Step 2

We add 2 and 3. The answer is 5

So, the answer is ≤ 5

3) Solve 3(x+5) ≤ 2(x+1)


As you can see, this question is different from another question. Here, I will show you step by step.

Step 1
We open bracket first. We multiply 3 into X and 5 and multiply 2 into x and 1

3x(x) + 3x(5)  ≤ 2x(x) + 2x(1)
3x + 15  ≤ 2x + 2

Step 2

Then, we make "x" become one.We move +15 into 2x and then we move 2x into +15.

3x(x) + 3x(5)  ≤ 2x(x) + 2x(1)               

                                                    Note: When we move + 15 to anther side, we must change the                                                                           sign of "+" into "-" .
3x + 15  ≤ 2x + 2
3x - 2x ≤ -5 + 2

Then, we "-" 3x - 2x and "+" -5 + 2
3x - 2x = x
-5 + 2 = -13

So, the answer is x  ≤  -13

Working :

3(x+5) ≤ 2(x+1)
3x(x) + 3x(5)  ≤ 2x(x) + 2x(1)   
3x + 15   2x + 2
3x - 2x -5 + 2
≤  -13
