Inequalities

Inequalities, for the main part can be dealt with in the same way as equations. Whatever you do to the left, you do the same thing to the right. The only exception is if you need to multiply or divide both sides by a minus number, in which case, the < symbol would become a > symbol and vice versa. The same also applies to ≤ and ≥ .

On number lines, < and > have open circles which are not shaded in. ≤ and ≥ have circles that are shaded in.

On graphs, < and > have dotted or dashed lines showing the boundary of a shaded area to indicate that the actual line is not included whereas ≤ and ≥ have a solid boundary indicating that the values covered by the line are included in the inequality.

The symbols < and > indicate strict inequalities.
