For example, let's start off with: 9x + 3 > 3x + 2

First, get rid of the smallest 6x + 3 > 2

variable, 3x, by subtracting

3x from 9x.

Then, subtract 3 from both 6x > -1

sides to isolate the

variable.

Now divide each side by x > -1/6

6 to get x alone to solve

the inequality.

Summary: Subtract one coefficient from another coefficient to get one coefficient on one side of the equation. Subtract one constant on one side of the equation from the other so that the coefficient is completely alone on its side of the equation. Finally, if their is a constant attached to the variable, which the pair is called a coefficient, divide whatever the constant of the variable is on both sides of the equation to get the variable alone to solve the equation.

How do you solve compound inequalities in word problems?

To solve compound inequalities in word problems, first, identify the key variables and relationships described in the problem. Translate the verbal statements into mathematical inequalities. Then, solve each inequality separately, and determine the intersection or union of the solutions, depending on whether the compound inequality is "and" (intersection) or "or" (union). Finally, interpret the solution in the context of the original problem.

Compound inequality definition?

A compound inequality is a mathematical statement that combines two or more inequalities, typically connected by the words "and" or "or." For example, an "and" compound inequality requires that both inequalities be true simultaneously, while an "or" compound inequality allows for either inequality to be true. These inequalities can be used to define a range of values that satisfy the conditions set by the inequalities. Compound inequalities are often solved by isolating the variable involved, similar to solving single inequalities.
