How do you solve an inequality, then verify the solution by subsituting 3 different numbers?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an inequality, you must solve for the variable. Let's look at an example:

4x + 2 > 10

We solve for x by subtracting 2 from both sides, then dividing 4 on both sides.

(Solve as if you were solving a regular equation)

4x > 8

x > 2

We get x > 2 as our inequality.

To plug in 3 values, simply plug in any number that is greater than 2. That would be the solution to the inequality.

If when solving the inequality and you have to divide by a negative, the sign will change. Ex:

-5x > 25

x < -5

To show that the sign should switch, let's solve it this way.

-5x > 25

0 > 25 + 5x       Add the 5x to both sides.

-25 > 5x            Subtract the 25 from both sides

-5 > x                Divide by 5 from both sides.

As we can see, the inequalities turn out to be the same, which is why you flip the sign when you divide.
