How to solve a inequality

An inequality is a statement about the relative size or order of two objects, or about whether they are the same or not (See also: equality).these points covered when linear equations explained
  • The notation a < b means that a is less than b.
  • The notation a > b means that a is greater than b.
  • The notation a ≠ b means that a is not equal to b, but does not say that one is greater than the other or even that they can be compared in size.


In each statement above, a is not equal to b. These relations are known as strict inequalities. Let's see an example on this from 9th grade math

Question:-

Solve the inequality

13 ≤ 3y+4 < style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">

Answer:-


We have to find the range of y.

So we isolate y.

13-4 ≤ 3y+4-4 < 18-4

9 ≤ 3y < 14

Noe divide each term by 3.

we get 3 ≤ y < 14/3 is the answer

similarly we can get more free answers to math problems
