Steps for Determining which values are TRUE in a inequality

Step 1: Replace each variable with one integer from the solution set

(PLUG IT IN)

Step 2: Simplify the expression on both sides of the inequality.

(DO THE MATH)

Step 3: Determine if the inequality is true or false.

  • If it is true - the number is a solution
  • If it is false - the number is NOT a solution.

Step 4: Repeat for all values in the solution set.
