Name Class Date 2-2 Solving Inequalities by Adding or Subtracting Going Deeper Essential question: How can you use properties to justify solutions to inequalities that involve addition and subtraction? A-REI.2.3 ENGAGE Properties of Inequality You have solved addition and subtraction equations by performing inverse operations that isolate the variable on one side. The value on the other side is the solution. Inequalities involving addition and subtraction can be solved similarly using the following inequality properties. These properties are also true for and. Addition Property of Inequality Subtraction Property of Inequality If a > b, then a + c > b + c. If a < b, then a + c < b + c. If a > b, then a - c > b - c. If a < b, then a - c < b - c. REFLECT a. How do the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Inequality compare to the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Equality? Most linear inequalities have infinitely many solutions. When using set notation, it is not possible to list all the solutions in braces. The solution x in set notation is {x x }. Read this as the set of all x such that x is less than or equal to. A number line graph can be used to represent the solution set of a linear inequality. the set of all x { x x } such that < or >, mark the endpoint with an empty circle. or, mark the endpoint with a solid circle. x is less than or equal to x < x x > x Chapter 2 79 Lesson 2
