B. Module Number : 7 - Linear Inequalities
C. Time Frame : Three (3) hours
D. Materials : Syllabus, online module, references, online resources
I. Overview
This module begins with the understanding of the concept and basic theorems of linear
inequalities. It will restrict the discussion to the graphical method of finding the solutions sets of
inequalities involving two variables and solution of system of linear inequalities . It will help us to
learn how to graph linear inequalities written in standard form the same way as linear equations,
the only difference being that one side of the line that satisfies the inequality is shaded. Acquired
knowledge in solving system of linear inequalities will give us ideas on how to understand linear
programming problems. At the end of the discussion, activities and set of exercises are presented
to assess the mastery of algorithms in solving system of linear equalities.
II. Desired Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, the learner should be able to:
(1) consolidate their understanding of the concept of linear inequalities;

(2) represent real-world applications with linear inequalities using two variables.;
(3) Understand the graphical difference for each of the inequality symbols;
(4) Solve systems of linear inequalities involving two variables using graphical solution;
(5) Solve application of linear inequalities especially in linear programming.
III. Content / Discussion
Module 7- Linear Inequalities

Introduction:
“Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day.” “There are more than 7 000 islands in the
Philippines.” “Vote not more than 12.” “ the company policy states that employees must work at least
20 hours per week.” Most of the time, we deal with statements stating that one quantity is not
equal to another quantity. This module deals with these statements.
Inequalities, like the more familiar equations, are relationships expressed in mathematical
form. Although less familiar than equations, inequalities are frequently used in solving business
problems which cannot be expressed in the form of equations or those which call for minimum
and maximum requirements.
⮚ An Inequality is a statement formed by linking two expressions (numeral and variable ) with
an unequal sign or inequality sign. An inequality containing a variable is called an open
sentence.

INEQUALITY SIGNS POSSIBLE MEANING

≠ Not equal to
< Less than
≤ Less than or equal to; at most/ not greater than
> Greater than
≥ Greater than or equal to; at least / not less than
Examples :
x≠5
x > 5( x +2)
x+3<5
x ≥ -10 + 2y
Challenge your MinD : Express each of the following by using an inequality.
• Lydia’s height (h) exceeds 1.2m. ________________
• Celia’s weight (x) is less than 60 kg. ________________
• Gladys’ average grade (g %) is greater than 90%. ________________
• The number of books (b) in the library is at most 600.________________
• Twice the monthly salary (s) of Robert is at least Pi 00 000.________________
• The present age of There is p. Ten years from now, she will be more than
40.________________
⮚ A Compound Inequality is a compound statement that says one quantity is less than ( or
greater than another but is greater that (or less than) a third one.
Examples :
a < x < b - x is greater than a but less than b
a > x > b - x is less than a but greater than b
0≤x<5 -
-3 > x > 8 -
TWO GENERAL TYPES OF INEQUALITY
1. Absolute Inequality - It is true for( or satisfied by ) all real values of the variables involved.
Examples :

2. Conditional Inequality - is true for particular real values of the variables involved.
Examples :
PROPERTIES OF INEQUALITY
Let a, b, and c are real numbers
1. Trichotomy - only one of the following is true.

x=b
x>b
x<b
2. Transitive Property
a. If a < b and b < c : then a < c
b. If a > b and b > c : then a > c
Examples :
a. If 5 < 10 and 10 < 20 : then 5 < 20
b. If 15 > 8 and 8 > 5 : then 15 > 5
3. Addition and Subtraction Property

a. If a < b : then a + c < b + c
b. If a < b : then a - c < b - c
Note : The sense of inequality is unchanged if the same real number is added or
subtracted
to both sides of inequality.
Examples :
a. If 11 > 7 : then 11 + 9 > 7 + 9
b. If 12 < 17 : then 12 - 3 < 17-3
4. Multiplication Property
a. If a > b and c > 0 : then ac > bc : c is any (+) real number.
Note : The sense of inequality is unchanged if both sides of inequality are multiplied by
the same positive real number .
b. If a > b and c < 0 : then ac < bc : c is any (- ) real number.
Note : The sense of inequality is reversed if both sides of inequality are multiplied by the
same negative real number .
Examples :

a. If 10 > 3 : then 10 (5) > 3(5)

b. If 2x < 11 : then 2x (-3) > 11(-3)
SOLUTION OF LINEAR INEQUALITY
❖ The Solution of Linear Inequality is an element of the domain of the variable which makes
the
inequality true.
❖ Solving a Linear Inequality is the process of determining the solution set or values of the
variable for which the inequality will be a true statement thru the use of the properties of
inequality.
Note : The graphical solution of a linear inequality in one variable is the set of all points on a
number line whose coordinates are solutions of the given inequality.
1. x < 4
2. x ≥ 5
3. -3 ≤ y ≤ 2
GRAPH AND SOLUTION OF LINEAR INEQUALITY IN TWO VARIABLES

❖ Linear equality in two variables is an inequality than can be written in the form :
where A, B, and C are real numbers and A, B ≠ 0

❖ The solution set of linear inequalities in two variables is the set of all points whose coordinates
satisfy the inequality. It is a plane which can be shown in a graph.

❖ The graph of a linear equality in two variables is a half- plane or region in a plane. A line divides
the plane into half planes. The line itself is called the boundary.
STEPS IN GRAPHING AND FINDING THE SOLUTION SET OF A LINEAR INEQUALITY IN TWO
VARIABLES
1. Express the given linear inequality into a linear equation by replacing the inequality symbol by
an equal sign.
2. Use intercept form to graph the corresponding linear equation.
Note : a. If the inequality sign < or > is used in a given linear inequality, draw a dashed
line to indicate that the line is not a part of the solution set.
b. If the inequality sign ≤ or ≥ is used in a given linear inequality, draw a solid line so
as to indicate that the points on the line itself are part of the solution set.
3. Choose any point that does not lie on the boundary line as the test point and substitute its
coordinates in the given linear inequality .If the given linear inequality is satisfied, shade the
half plane towards the test point; otherwise, shade the opposite region not containing
the test point.
Note : Unless the boundary line passes thru the origin , the point, O(0,0) is always an easy
test point to use.
4. The solution sets are the points that lie on the shaded region.
Examples : Find the solution sets and graph the following linear inequality.
1. x < 4 2. y ≥ 5

3. 3x + 4y ≤ 12 4. x < 2 y

5. 150x + 180y ≥ 900 6. 3x + 5 y ≤ 12

❖ SYSTEMS OF LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN TWO VARIABLES
⮚ A system of linear inequalities is a collection of inequalities in the same variables such as the
following :
⮚ The solution set of a system of linear inequalities is the set of all the points in the plane that
satisfy all the inequalities simultaneously.
⮚ The solution set of a system of linear equations is the point of intersection while the common
solution set for such a system of linear inequalities is the intersection of the plane or region of
their solution sets of the individual inequalities that make up the system.
⮚ The solution set of a system of linear inequalities is also known as the feasibility region for the
system, since any point that lies within the feasibility region is a feasible combination for the
system in the sense that the coordinates of such a point satisfies all the inequalities of the
system simultaneously.
⮚ The corners formed by the intersections of the boundary lines of a feasibility region are called
the vertices of the region.
Examples : Graph the solution set or the feasibility region and find its vertices for the following
system of linear inequalities.
1. x + y ≤ 6

x - 2y ≥ -4
2. 3x +5 y ≥ 15
x≥2


3. x+y≥4
3x + 3y ≤ 18
x≥3
y≥0

4. 3x + y ≥ 6
x+y≤5
6x - 5y ≤ 30

5. 2x + 3y ≥ 6
-x + y ≤ 1
x≤2
y≤2
