The inequality is .

Solve the inequality.

                   (Original inequality)

       (Add to each side)

                   (Apply additive inverse property: )

Step 1:

The boundary of the graph is the graph of .

Since the inequality symbol is , the boundary line is dashed.

is less than  , so the region less than is shaded.

Step 2:

Consider a test point as .

The statement is true.

Shade the inequality containing the point .

Graph:

Graph of the inequality is .

Graph of the equation is .
