Although there are many numbers that may make an inequality true if something is greater than the other and the larger of the inequality relation is facing that side then it is true.
5>2 true
5<2 is false

any number that makes the inequality true
Substitute the values of the variables into the inequality. If the inequality is true then they are a solution, if not, they are not.Substitute the values of the variables into the inequality. If the inequality is true then they are a solution, if not, they are not.Substitute the values of the variables into the inequality. If the inequality is true then they are a solution, if not, they are not.Substitute the values of the variables into the inequality. If the inequality is true then they are a solution, if not, they are not.
Pick a test point, (the origin is the most convenient unless the line of the inequality falls on it), and plug it into the same linear inequality. If the test point makes the inequality true, then shade that side of the line. If the test point makes the inequality false, then shade the opposite side of the line.
1) Replace the inequality signs in the solution and in the original question with = signs. Substitute the solution inn the question: it should make it true. 2) (Back to the inequalities) Pick another number that satisfies the solution inequality - e.g. if x>2, pick 5. Substitute this into the original inequality: if it makes it true, then you are good to go!
