Representing Inequalities in the Number Line

Greater than ( $>$ $>$ )

Greater than or equal ( $\geq$ $≥$ )

Less than ( $<$ $<$ )

Less than or equal ( $\leq$ $≤$ )

First, make sure that only $x$ $x$ is on the left side

$x - 35$ $x-35$ $\leq$ $≤$ $14$ $14$

$x - 35$ $x-35$ $+ 35$ $+35$ $\leq$ $≤$ $14$ $14$ $+ 35$ $+35$ Add $35$ $35$ to both sides

$x$ $x$ $\leq$ $≤$ $49$ $49$

The given inequality has a less than or equal to ( $\leq$ $≤$ ) sign.

Hence, place a solid circle above $49$ $49$ and attach an arrow pointing to the left to represent all values less than $49$ $49$ .

Check our work

To confirm that $49$ $49$ is less than or equal to $a$ $a$ , substitute $x = 49$ $x=49$ to the original inequality

$x - 35$ $x-35$ $\leq$ $≤$ $14$ $14$

$49 - 35$ $49-35$ $\leq$ $≤$ $14$ $14$ Substitute $x = 49$ $x=49$

$14$ $14$ $\leq$ $≤$ $14$ $14$

Since the inequality is true, the representation is correct

Representing Inequalities in the Number Line

Greater than ( $>$ $>$ )

Greater than or equal ( $\geq$ $≥$ )

Less than ( $<$ $<$ )

Less than or equal ( $\leq$ $≤$ )

First, make sure that only $m$ $m$ is on the left side

$9$ $9$ $<$ $<$ $m + 3$ $m+3$

$9$ $9$ $- 3$ $-3$ $<$ $<$ $m + 3$ $m+3$ $- 3$ $-3$ Subtract $3$ $3$ from both sides

$6$ $6$ $<$ $<$ $m$ $m$

$m$ $m$ $>$ $>$ $6$ $6$ Flip the inequality

The given inequality has a greater than ( $>$ $>$ ) sign.

Hence, place an empty circle above $6$ $6$ and attach an arrow pointing to the right to represent all values greater than $6$ $6$ .

$8 x + 5$ $8x+5$ $- 8 x$ $-8x$ $>$ $>$ $9 x$ $9x$ $- 8 x$ $-8x$ Subtract $8 x$ $8x$ from both sides

$5$ $5$ $>$ $>$ $x$ $x$

$x$ $x$ $<$ $<$ $5$ $5$ Flip the inequality

The given inequality has a less than ( $<$ $<$ ) sign.

Hence, place an empty circle above $5$ $5$ and attach an arrow pointing to the left to represent all values less than $5$ $5$ .

Representing Inequalities in the Number Line

Greater than ( $>$ $>$ )

Greater than or equal ( $\geq$ $≥$ )

Less than ( $<$ $<$ )

Less than or equal ( $\leq$ $≤$ )

First, make sure that only $a$ $a$ is on the left side

$a + 15.8$ $a+15.8$ $\geq$ $≥$ $- 3.5$ $-3.5$

$a + 15.8$ $a+15.8$ $- 15.8$ $-15.8$ $\geq$ $≥$ $- 3.5$ $-3.5$ $- 15.8$ $-15.8$ Subtract $15.8$ $15.8$ from both sides

$a$ $a$ $\geq$ $≥$ $- 19.3$ $-19.3$

The given inequality has a greater than or equal to ( $\geq$ $≥$ ) sign.

Hence, place a solid circle above $- 19.3$ $-19.3$ and attach an arrow pointing to the right to represent all values greater than $- 19.3$ $-19.3$ .
Question 5 of 5

5. Question
Find the inequality that represents all possible $a$ $a$ values

$- 3 a$ $-3a$ $<$ $<$ $45$ $45$
- 1. $a$ $a$ $>$ $>$ $- 15$ $-15$
- 2. $a$ $a$ $>$ $>$ $15$ $15$
- 3. $a$ $a$ $<$ $<$ $- 15$ $-15$
- 4. $a$ $a$ $<$ $<$ $15$ $15$

Incorrect

If a negative value is multiplied or divided to both sides of an inequality, the inequality flips.

$- x$ $-x$ $<$ $<$ $a$ $a$ becomes $x$ $x$ $>$ $>$ $- a$ $-a$

First, make sure that only $a$ $a$ is on the left side

$- 3 a$ $-3a$ $<$ $<$ $45$ $45$

$- 3 a$ $-3a$ $\div (- 3)$ $divide(-3)$ $<$ $<$ $45$ $45$ $\div (- 3)$ $divide(-3)$ Divide both sides by $- 3$ $-3$

$a$ $a$ $>$ $>$ $- 15$ $-15$ Flip the inequality

$a$ $a$ $>$ $>$ $- 15$ $-15$
