Alligator rule
The mouth always opens toward the bigger number
How to check solutions
Write the inequality pick a number for the variable plug it in and solve Ask if the statement is true or false
If true
It is a solution
If false
It is not a solution
Example 1
n + 5 > 18 try n = 13 → 13 + 5 = 18 not bigger than 18 so not a solution
Example 2
b - 7 < 14 try b = 13 → 13 - 7 = 6 less than 14 true so 13 is a solution
Quick tip
Solutions to inequalities are like guesses If the alligator is happy meaning true your number works
