Steps for Solving Equations
Simplify each side of the equation separately Order of Operations
● Remove parentheses using distributive property● Combine like terms
Use inverse operations to get variables on one side of the equal sign. Use subtraction to undo addition, and use addition to undo subtraction Use inverse operations to isolate the variable
○ Locate the variable○ Remove values that are on the same side of the variable by doing order of
operations backwards. ○ Use subtraction to undo addition, and use addition to undo subtraction○ Use multiplication to undo division, and use division to undo multiplication

Remember: If you MULTIPLY or DIVIDE by a NEGATIVE value you must FLIP the inequality sign to correct the problem!

Possible Solutions for an Equation
There are three possible solutions to an equation.
One Infinite Solutions No Solution
How will you know what solution you have when you solve an equation?
Solution Infinite Solutions No Solution
You will have a variable on one side of the inequality sign and a value on the other side
of the inequality sign.
All of the variables will be eliminated and the equation
that is left is a TRUE statement.
All of the variables will be eliminated and the equation
that is left is a FALSE statement.
x = 5 8=8 7 = 5
Possible Solutions for an Inequality

Graphing Inequalities
Compound InequalitiesHow can you find the solution of a compound inequality?
You must solve and graph each inequality separately.
And Or
The solution set will be those values where you find BOTH inequalities shaded at the
same time.
The solution set will be those values where you find ONE inequality shaded or BOTH
inequalities shaded at the same time.
Examples
x≤4 and x>−7 x<−5 or x≥2

which can also be written as−7<x ≤4
Remember: The solution set will be those values where you find BOTH inequalities shaded at the same time. In this case the solution is between -7 and 4. The solution does not include -7 (open circle) but does
include 4 (closed circle).
Remember: The solution set will be those values where you find ONE inequality shaded
or BOTH inequalities shaded at the same time. In this case the solution is any value
less than -5 or any value 2 or higher.
Interval NotationInterval Notation is a way to display the solution of an inequality by describing the portion of the number line that makes the inequality true. The portion of the number line is called an Interval.
Symbol in words Symbol Used with Purpose
Parentheses ( or ) > or < Use when the interval’s endpoints
are not included.
Brackets [ or ] ≥∨≤ Use when the interval’s endpoints
are included.
Infinity ∞ or −∞Always use
( or )
Use when the interval continues forever in either a
positive or negative direction.Examples
