You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is one of my favorites and the solution is straight forward and something you need to remember.
\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) 2x - 3 < x + 2 <= 3x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "You solve this using the \"left-side inequality\" then the \"right-side inequality\". That is we write (1) as TWO inequalities;
\n" ); document.write( "(2) 2x - 3 < x + 2 and
\n" ); document.write( "(3) x + 2 <= 3x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x in (2).
\n" ); document.write( "(4) 2x - x < 2 + 3 or
\n" ); document.write( "(5) x < 5
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x in (3).
\n" ); document.write( "(6) 2 - 5 <= 3x - x or
\n" ); document.write( "(7) -3 <= 2x or
\n" ); document.write( "(8) -3/ <= x
\n" ); document.write( "Now recombine (5) and (7), keeping the order least to most left-to-right
\n" ); document.write( "(9) -3/2 <= x < 5
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: the solution to the inequality is -3/2 <= x < 5.
\n" ); document.write( "Thanks for reading
\n" ); document.write( "Now remember, solve two simple inequalities instead of staring at it and saying \"What'll I do?\"
\n" ); document.write( "PS You can also do this for longer strings of inequalities!\r
