2. Teach<br />

Computers Nearly 32 megabytes (MB) of memory are available<br />

for running your computer. If its basic systems require 12 MB,<br />

how much memory is available for other programs?<br />

Words memory for plus memory for is less<br />

basic systems other programs than<br />

Let m = memory available for other programs.<br />

Inequality 12 + m<br />

, 32<br />

12 + m , 32<br />

12 - 12 + m , 32 - 12 Subtract 12 from each side.<br />

m , 20 Simplify.<br />

Less than 20 MB of memory is available for other programs.<br />

weighs 37 lb. How much can another suitcase weigh? K 28 lb<br />

Using Addition to Solve Inequalities<br />

To solve an inequality involving subtraction, use addition.<br />

Key Concepts<br />

Addition Property of Inequality<br />

You can add the same number to each side of an inequality.<br />

Arithmetic<br />

7 . 3, so 7 + 4 . 3 + 4<br />

2 , 5, so 2 + 6 , 5 + 6<br />

EXAMPLE<br />

Solve n – 15 R 3.<br />

n - 15 , 3<br />

n - 15 + 15 , 3 + 15<br />

n , 18<br />

3. Solve each inequality.<br />

If a . b, then a + c . b + c.<br />

If a , b, then a + c , b + c.<br />

Adding to Solve an Inequality<br />

Add 15 to each side.<br />

Test-Taking Tip<br />

To check that n , 18<br />

is a solution of<br />

n - 15 , 3, use related<br />

equations n = 18 and<br />

n - 15 = 3. Substitute<br />

18 into n - 15 = 3 and<br />

get 18 - 15 = 3. The<br />

result suggests that you<br />

solved correctly.<br />

2-9 Solving One-Step Inequalities by Adding or Subtracting 107<br />

Math Background<br />

The same number can be added<br />

to or subtracted from each side of<br />

an inequality to get a new<br />

inequality with the same solutions<br />

as the original.<br />

Teaching Notes<br />

1<br />

Error <strong>Pre</strong>vention<br />

Point out that to rewrite an<br />

inequality in reverse order, you<br />

must pay attention to the<br />

direction of the inequality symbol.<br />

You rewrite 5 . x as x , 5,<br />

changing . to ,. Have students<br />

write an inequality for Kyle is<br />

older than Jaime in two ways.<br />

Kyle’s age > Jaime’s age;<br />

Jaime’s age < Kyle’s age<br />

Diversity<br />

Some students may be unfamiliar<br />

with computer terminology.<br />

Explain that a byte is a unit of<br />

computer memory that stores a<br />

single character. Explain to<br />

students that the prefix mega<br />

means one million. Ask students<br />

to guess what 1 megabyte might<br />

mean. one million bytes<br />

Suppose your computer’s hard<br />

drive has a capacity of 6<br />

gigabytes (GB). The files you<br />

have stored on the hard drive<br />

occupy at least 2 GB. How<br />

much storage space is left for<br />

other files? s K 4; at most<br />

4 GB are left.<br />

Reaching All Students<br />

Closure<br />

Below Level Ask: What do you do to<br />

each side of the equation to get the<br />

variable alone for d + 5 = 9?<br />

Subtract 5. For f - 6 = 4? Add 6.<br />

Advanced Learners Ask: If you try<br />

to list all the solutions for x > 1,<br />

which number would you list first?<br />

Explain. Answers may vary.<br />

Sample: 2; because it’s the first<br />

integer greater than 1.<br />

Ask students to compare solving<br />

inequalities involving addition<br />

and subtraction with solving<br />

equations involving addition and<br />

subtraction. See back of book.<br />
