Two-Variable Inequality (YOUR NAME HERE) MAT 221 (YOUR PROFESSOR ’S NAME HERE) February 10‚ 2014 Two-Variable Inequality We use inequalities when there is a range of possible answers for a situation. That’s what we are interested in when we study inequalities‚ possibilities. We can explore the possibilities of an inequality using a number line which is sufficient in simple situations‚ such as inequalities with just one variable. But in more complicated circumstances‚ like those with two variables
