This document provides instructions for solving inequalities and graphing their solutions on a number line. It explains that when solving inequalities, the same steps are followed as with equations, which is to isolate the variable, but the inequality symbol flips if multiplying or dividing by a negative number. It then provides examples of solving six inequalities: 4x > -12, 6x + 1 > -5, 2x - 5 < 3, 7 < x - 8, -2x + 4 < 12, and -3x + 6 > -9.

1. Lesson 62:
*inequality – a mathematical statement that has <, >, <, or > as a
symbol of comparison
FYI.... < or > means to use an open circle (excluded)
< or > means to use a closed circle (included)

2. *When solving inequalities...do the same as solving for equations...
ISOLATE THE VARIABLE!!
****One difference...when you multiply or divide by a negative
number...the inequality symbol is "flipped"!!
