Solving Inequalities Using Multiplication or Division 6.2 Goal Solve and graph one-step inequalities in one variable using multiplication or division Key Words multiplication property of

inequality division property of inequality PROPERTIES OF INEQUALITY Multiplication Property of Inequality (c > 0) For all real numbers a, b, and for c > 0: If a > b, then ac > bc If a < b, then ac < bc Division Property of Inequality (c > 0) For all real numbers a, b, and c > 0:

If a > b, then a c > b c If a < b, then a c < b c EXAMPL E 1 Multiply by a Positive Number a Solve 10 . Then graph the solution. 4 EXAMPL E 2 Solve: 4x > 20 Divide by a Positive Number
