Olving a linear inequality is almost exactly like solving a linear equation.
<span>y=x+3 </span>
<span>Is generally thought of as a line with slope=1 and y intercept=3. </span>
<span>Solutions are usually found by plugging in values for x and deriving the corresponding y values. </span>
<span>For an inequality, follow the same procedure. </span>
<span>y>x+3 </span>
<span>is graphed the same way, except that you draw a dash line and shade the area ABOVE the line. This indicates that (unlike an equation) the solutions are not ON the line but ABOVE it. </span>
