Greater than or less than symbols are written as '>' and '<' respectively. Equations containing greater than or less than in a question are called as Inequalities. The online tool used to solve the given ‘greater than’ or ‘less than’inequation is called as greater than less than calculator.
Example 1: Solve for x given: 4x+ 10 > 34
First step is to solve inequality with ‘greater than’ in the question.
4x+ 10 > 34
Now subtract 10 on both sides of the equation.
This gives 4x+ 10 -10 > 34 -10
4x + 0 > 24 - 4x> 24;
Now divide both sides of the equation by 4.
4x/4 > 24/4 - x> 6.
This gives the solution: x = (6, ∞)
Example 2: Solve for x given: 5x + 12 < 22
First step is to solve inequality with less than in the question.
5x + 12 < 22
Now subtract 12 on both sides of the equation.
This gives 5x + 12 -12 < 22 -12
5x + 0 < 10 - 5x < 10
Now divide both sides of the equation by 5.
5x/5 < 10/2 - x< 2.
This gives the solution: (-∞ 2)
