Explain how to solve inequalities.


Open in App
Solution

Algebra is simply a vast as we will as a very important subject. It’s full of equations and operations. Equations are the expressions with an equal sign. An expression is made up of constants as we will as variables combined together with algebraic operators. Inequality is simply a type of equation which does not have equal sign in it An inequality is defined as a statement about the relative size as we will as is used to compare two statements.

The way of solving inequalities is little different than solving equations. In order to solve inequalities, one needs to follow few simple rules. An inequality does not change if any number or variable are added or subtracted on the both sides. Similarly, its value is not affected if same number or variable is multiplied on both the sides. Except when inequality is divided by a negative variable or number on both the sides, then the inequality sign is flipped or reversed. On dividing inequality by a positive number, it does not require any change. There’s few more rules as we will as regulations if we deal with a system of inequalities or double inequality. We shall understand more about inequalities below in this page.
