Lesson 1
Subtopic: Linear Inequalities in One Variable
Reference Materials: NGM for SSS 2, Pg. 99 – 102

Linear Inequalities in One Variable

Inequality Symbol Meaning Representation on a number line

> is greater than

< is less than

≥ is greater than or equal to

≤ is less than or equal to

≠ is not equal to

NB: When both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative quantity, the
inequality symbol must be reversed for the statement to remain true.
Worked Examples
(1a.) Solve the inequality −2(13 + 𝑥) ≥ 9 + 5𝑥
(1b.) Represent the solution on a number line
(1c.) Given that 𝑥 is an integer, find the three greatest values of 𝑥 which satisfy the inequality.

𝑎 3−2𝑎 𝑎+1
(2a.) For what range of value of 𝑎 is 3
+ 5
< 5
?
(2b.) Sketch the number line graph for the solution
(2c.) Given that 𝑎 is an integer, find the three lowest possible values of 𝑎
Solution
(1a.)
−2(13 + 𝑥) ≥ 9 + 5𝑥
Remove the brackets
−26 − 2𝑥 ≥ 9 + 5𝑥
Collect like terms
−2𝑥 − 5𝑥 ≥ 9 + 26
−7𝑥 ≥ 35
Divide both sides by −7 and reverse the inequality symbol
𝑥 ≤ −5
(b.)

(c.) Since 𝑥 is an integer,

𝑥 = −5, −6, −7, −8, …
Hence, the three greatest integer values of 𝑥 are −5, −6, −7.

(2a.)
𝑎 3 − 2𝑎 𝑎 + 1
+ <
3 5 5
Clear fractions
5𝑎 + 3(3 − 2𝑎) < 3(𝑎 + 1)
Remove brackets
5𝑎 + 9 − 6𝑎 < 3𝑎 + 3
Collect like terms and simplify
5𝑎 − 6𝑎 − 3𝑎 < 3 − 9
−4𝑎 < −6
Divide by both sides −4 and reverse the inequality symbol

(b.)

(c.) Since 𝑎 is an integer,

𝑎 = 2, 3, 4, 5, …
 Hence, the three lowest possible integer values of 𝑎 are 2, 3, 4.
