x>y
 Inequalities
Aim: To be able to manipulate inequalities.

y is smaller than x x<y x is smaller than

or equal to y

y is larger than
or equal to x x>y x is smaller than y

x is larger than
y is smaller than
or equal to x
x≤y or equal to y

y is larger than x x≥y x is larger than y

 Inequalities
y is smaller than x x<y x is smaller than
or equal to y

y is larger than
or equal to x x>y x is smaller than y

x is larger than
y is smaller than
or equal to x
x≤y or equal to y

y is larger than x x≥y x is larger than y

 If we assume x can only be an integer (whole number), what
values of x satisfy this inequality?
x>3 x≥3

–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

x<1 x≤1

–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
What if x doesn’t have to be an integer (whole number)?

x>3

–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

x≥3
–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
 x+1 >5
x + 1 - 1 > 5 -1
x>4
–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

x–2≥3
x≥5
–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
