Inequalities with 3 -5 Solving Variables on Both Sides Some inequalities have variable terms on both sides of the inequality symbol. You can solve these inequalities like you solved equations with variables on both sides. Use the properties of inequality to “collect” all the variable terms on one side and all the constant terms on the other side. Holt Algebra 1

Inequalities with 3 -5 Solving Variables on Both Sides Example 1 A: Solving Inequalities with Variables on Both Sides Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. y ≤ 4 y + 18 To collect the variable terms on one y ≤ 4 y + 18 side, subtract y from both sides. –y –y 0 ≤ 3 y + 18 – 18 ≤ 3 y Since 18 is added to 3 y, subtract 18 from both sides to undo the addition.

Inequalities with 3 -5 Solving Variables on Both Sides Example 2: Business Application The Home Cleaning Company charges $312 to power-wash the siding of a house plus $12 for each window. Power Clean charges $36 per window, and the price includes power-washing the siding. How many windows must a house have to make the total cost from The Home Cleaning Company less expensive than Power Clean? Let w be the number of windows. Holt Algebra 1

Inequalities with 3 -5 Solving Variables on Both Sides Example 2 Continued Home Cleaning Company siding charge 312 plus + $12 per window 12 times # of windows is less than Power Clean cost per window • w < 36 312 + 12 w < 36 w – 12 w 312 < 24 w times • # of windows. w To collect the variable terms, subtract 12 w from both sides. Since w is multiplied by 24, divide both sides by 24 to undo the multiplication. 13 < w The Home Cleaning Company is less expensive for houses with more than 13 windows. Holt Algebra 1
