Solving Inequalities by Addition or Subtraction

Secondary 3

Properties

Examples

If \(x\ge y\), then

\(x+a\ge y+a\) and \(x-a\ge y-a\) 

If \(x\le y\), then

\(x+a\le y+a\) and \(x-a\le y-a\)

Inequality sign does not change when we add or subtract a positive or negative number to both sides of an inequality.
