Chapter 7: Linear Inequalities
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about linear inequalities. We will start by comparing the values of numbers and describing inequality. From there, we will learn how to form algebraic inequalities. We will also make generalizations about inequality, such as the converse and transitive properties, additive and multiplicative inverse, and basic arithmetic operations.
Next, we will focus on linear inequalities in one variable. We will learn how to form linear inequalities based on daily life situations and vice-versa. We will also solve problems involving linear inequalities in one variable.
By the end of this chapter, we will have a good understanding of inequalities and how to work with them in various situations.
