Solving One-Step Inequalities Inequality- mathematical sentence that uses the symbols < , >, ≤ , ≥ to compare two amounts. Solution Set- the set of values that make the inequality true.
Copy this table into your notes. Symbol Meaning Graph < Less than Open circle > Greater than Open circle ≤ Less than or equal to Closed circle ≥ Greater than or equal to Closed circle

Inequalities and their graphs
Inequalities and their graphs-answers x < -7 x<2 x > -11 x > -3
Graph x > 2 Where do we put the circle ? In which direction does the arrow go? Think…what could you plug in for x that is greater than 2?
What about x ≤ 2 ……is 2 ≤ 2 This is why we graph with a closed circle. The closed circle tells us that 2 is included. Which way does the arrow go?
What about x ≥ 2 ……is 2 ≥ 2 Where do we put the circle ? Which way does the arrow go?
Your Turn 1. Write the inequality above the number line. 2. Graph the inequality. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) x >8 x< 7 x≤ 4 x ≥ -3 x < -5 x≤ 6
