You solve an inequality by treating the greater than and less than like a equal sign, an example is 6x + 15 is less than 9. You could see it as 6x + 15 = 9, so you minus 15 from 9, making it -6. Now, 6x = -6. Divide by 6, and you get x is less than -1. After this, x can equal anything that is less than -1. You can make x equal -2, now you can check the problem: 6x + 15 is less than 9

6(-2) + 15 is less than 9

-12 + 15 is less than 9

3 is less than 9

TRUE!!! This is a true statement because 3 is less than 9. Good luck in the world of Math!

How do you solve a inequality word problem?

To solve an inequality word problem, first, identify the variables and the relationships described in the problem. Translate the words into a mathematical inequality, using symbols to represent the relationships (e.g., <, >, ≤, ≥). Then, solve the inequality just as you would with an equation, applying algebraic operations while keeping the inequality in mind. Finally, interpret the solution in the context of the original problem to provide a meaningful answer.
