Pre-Algebra
An inequality that contains a variable is an algebraic inequality.
A number that makes an inequality true is a solution of the inequality.
The set of all solutions is called the solution set. The solution set can be shown by graphing it on a number line.

Most inequalities can be solved the same way equations are solved. Use inverse operations on both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable.
There are special rules when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, which you will learn in the next chapter.

Additional Example 2A: Solving and Graphing Inequalities
Solve and graph the inequality.A. x + 2.5 8
–2.5 –2.5x 5.5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Subtract 2.5 from both sides.
According to the graph, 5.4 is a solution, since 5.4 < 5.5, and 6 should not be solution because 6 > 5.5.

Additional Example 3 Continued11 Understand the Problem
The answer will be the least number of packages of border needed to wallpaper a room.
List the important information:• The total distance around the room is 88 feet.• The border comes in packages of 16 feet.
Show the relationship of the information:
the number of packages of border
the length of one package of border • Distance around
