For additional help, explanation, examples, exercises, and answers, please go to my website, by doing a "Bing" Search for my last name "Rapalje".

Then, near the top of my Homepage, look for "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time," select "Basic Algebra" and in "Chapter 1", look for "Section 1.11 Inequalities". This is my own non-traditional explanation that my own students have found MUCH easier to understand than the traditional textbooks. In addition to my explanations, examples and exercises, I have my "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" pages where I solved many of these exercises IN COLOR!!
