Multi step inequalities

Points to the Left - Less

Points to the Right - gReater

x is gReater (point to the Right)

x is gReater than 5 (points to the Right)

• Find the number where you have your circle

• Is the circle empty (< or >) or filled (<= or >=)

• Points Left means Less (< or <=)

• Points Right means gReater (> o= >=)

• The symbol is less or equal

• Undo subtraction by adding 5 to both sides

• Undo multiplication by dividing by 3 on both sides

• Graph on the number line

• Circle is filled and arrow points to the left

• Symbol gReater or equal to (points to the Right)

• Undo subtraction by adding 3 to both sides

• Undo division by multiplying by 6 both sides

• Graph on the number line

• Circle is filled and arrow points to the right

• Distribute 4 to 8x and -6

• Undo subtraction by adding 24 to both sides

• Undo multiplication by dividing by 32 on both sides

• Graph on the number line

• Circle is filled and arrow points to the left

• Distribute 4 to 8a and -6

• Combine Like terms 32a and a

• Undo subtraction by adding 24 to both sides

• Undo multiplication by dividing by 33 on both sides

• Graph on the number line

• Circle is empty and arrow points to the Left (Less)
