How Do You Solve an Inequality By Adding Fractions?
Note:
To solve an inequality containing fractions, focus on isolating the variable on one side of the inequality. In this tutorial, you'll see how to add fractions with unlike denominators in order to isolate the variable and find the answer to the inequality!
Background Tutorials
-
Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
-
What's a Mixed Number?
Fractions come in all sorts of flavors, and in this tutorial you'll learn how to recognize mixed numbers.
-
-
Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram.
-
What's an Inequality?
Inequalities come up all the time when you're working algebra problems. In this tutorial you'll learn what an inequality is, and you'll see all the common inequality symbols that you're likely to see :)

-
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
-
What is a Variable?
You can't do algebra without working with variables, but variables can be confusing. If you've ever wondered what variables are, then this tutorial is for you!

Further Exploration
-
Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.

How Do You Solve an Inequality By Subtracting Fractions?
To solve an inequality containing fractions, focus on isolating the variable on one side of the inequality. In this tutorial, you'll see how to subtract fractions with unlike denominators in order to isolate the variable and find the answer to the inequality!
