Find the value of X in the problem 2X = 16. Solving for X will give you _______.

But you don't really want the value of X multiplied by 2 giving you 16. Instead you want the value that's less than or greater than 16. So the answer would really be ± your value of X from above.

Is -5 a solution to this inequality x3?

"x3" is not an inequality. An inequality will have one of the following signs: less-than, less-than-or-equal, greater-than, greater-than-or-equal. for example: 3x - 5 < 15

On a graphed inequality is a point that is on the line part of the solution?

It depends upon the inequality. All points on the line are those which are equal, thus:If the inequality is (strictly) "less than" () then the points on the line are not included; howeverif the inequality is "less than or equals" (≤) or "greater than or equals" (≥) then the points on the line are included.


What inequality is greater than or equal to -5?

An inequality has no magnitude. A number can be greater than or equal to -5, but not an inequality.


Is -4 a solution to the inequality x greater than or equal to 4?

No, -4 is not a solution to the inequality x ≥ 4. In order for -4 to be a solution, it must make the inequality true when substituted for x. Since -4 is less than 4, it does not satisfy the condition of being greater than or equal to 4. Therefore, -4 is not a solution to the inequality x ≥ 4.


Is xl7.6x7.0 an inequality?

No. To be an inequality, it must somewhere have a greater than, less than, greater-or-equal, or less-or-equal sign.


In the fallowing inequality determine if the graph would contain a solid or dotted line then determine If the solution is above or below the line?

To determine whether to use a solid or dotted line for a given inequality, check if the inequality includes equal to (≥ or ≤) or not (>) or (<). If it includes equal to, use a solid line; if not, use a dotted line. For the solution area, if the inequality is greater than (>) or greater than or equal to (≥), the solution lies above the line; for less than (<) or less than or equal to (≤), it lies below the line.


If you replace the equal sign of an equation an put an inequality sign in its place is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and inequality?

Yes, when the inequality has a less that or equal to sign, or a greater than sign or equal to sign, then the equal sign can be replaced and get a solution that is common to both the equation and the inequality. There can also be other solutions to the inequality, where as the solution for the equation will be a valid one.


What are the critical features of an inequality?

An inequality must have a greater than sign (>) OR a less than sign (<) OR a greater than or equal to sign (≥) OR a less than or equal to sign (≤).


When will the graph of an equation inequality be a dotted line?

The line is dotted when the inequality is a strict inequality, ie it is either "less than" (<) or "greater than" (>). If there is an equality in the inequality, ie "less than or equal to" (≤), "greater than or equal to" (≥) or "equal to" (=) then the line is drawn as a solid line.


Is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution for both the equation and the inequality?

Yes, but only when the inequality is not a strict inequality: thatis to say it is a "less than or equal to" or "more than or equal to" inequality. In such cases, the solution to the "or equal to" aspect will satisfy the corresponding inequality.
