Solve linear inequalities in one variable, graph the solution on a number line, and write the solution in interval notation — step by step.
Solve inequalities the same way you solve equations — but with one critical rule:
Use parentheses for strict inequalities, brackets for inclusive:
| Inequality | Interval | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| x < a | (-∞, a) | ← left |
| x ≤ a | (-∞, a] | ← left |
| x > a | (a, ∞) | → right |
| x ≥ a | [a, ∞) | → right |
