Linear Inequalities

Linear Inequality

Linear inequalities are mathematical statements that compare two expressions using symbols such as , ≤, or ≥. They are similar to linear equations but instead of showing that two expressions are equal, they show that one expression is greater or smaller than the other. In this topic, you will learn how to represent inequalities, solve them step-by-step, and graph their solutions on number lines or coordinate planes. Linear inequalities help us describe real-life situations, such as budgeting, speed limits, measurement constraints, and many everyday decisions that involve “more than,” “less than,” or “at least.” By understanding linear inequalities, you will gain the tools to reason logically, make comparisons, and solve a wide range of mathematical and practical problems.
