Easy Math of Linear (Equations and Inequalities) One Variable

Math of Linear (Equations and Inequalities) One Variable
Completion of the set of graphs of linear equations of the variables shown in a number line, in the form of dot (point).
example
Determine the completion of the set of equations
4 (2x + 3) = 10x + 8, if x
variables on the set of integers. Then, draw the number line
completion:
4 (2x + 3) = 10x + 8
8x + 12 = 10x + 8
8x + 12 - 12 = 10x + 8-12 (both sides minus 12)
8x = 10x - 4
8x - 10x = 10x - 4 - 10x (10x minus both sides)
-2x = -4
-2x: (-2) = -4 (-2) (both sides are divided by -2)
 x = 2
Thus, the solution set is {2}.

Easy Math of Linear Inequalities One Variable
In everyday life, surely you've come across or find sentences like the following.
a. Rebbecca weigh more than 52 kg.
b. Josh height 7 cm less than my height.
c. One of the requirements to be members of the Army is his height not less than 165 cm.
d. A bus can carry no more than 55 people.
How sentences are expressed in the form of mathematical sentence? To be able to learn to answer the following description.

1. understanding inequality
In order for you to understand the sense of inequality, try to remember back in elementary school about the matter in writing notation <,>,<,> , and not same.
a. 3 less than 5 written 3 <5.
b. 8 more than 4 written 8> 4.
c. x no more than 9 written x < 9.
d. Two times y is not less than 16 written 2y > 16.
Sentences 3 <5, 8> 4, x < 9, and  are called the inequality 2y >16 .
In general it can be written as follows.
An inequality is always marked by one of the following hyphen.
"<" For less than stated.
">" To declare over.
"<" to represent no more than or less than or equal to.
">" to represent not less than or more than or equal to.

2. Linear Inequalities One Variable
On the front you have learned that an equation is always marked with a hyphen "=". In this section you will learn the characteristics of an inequality.
example
Of the following forms, which specify a linear inequality with one variable.
a. x - 3 <5
b. A < 1 - 2b
c. x2 - 3x > 4
completion:
a. x - 3 <5
Inequality x - 3 <5 has one variable, namely x and rank 1, so x - 3 <5 is a variable linear inequality.
b. A < 1 - 2b
Inequality a < 1 - 2b has two variables, namely a and b, each of which rank 1.
Thus a < 1 - 2b is not a single variable linear inequalities.
c. x2 - 3x > 4
Due to the inequality x2 - 3x > 4 has variable x and x2, then x2 - 3x > 4 is not a single variable linear inequalities in Easy Math of Linear.
