Subtract 1 on both sides of the inequality to get

From here we plug in each set of coordinates to see which could satisfy the statement.



This is a true statement therefore we say that (0,2) satisfies the inequality.

First, combine the x's on the left side:
.
Then, move all the x's to the left side:
, which simplifies to
.
Next, move all other numbers to the right side:
, which simplifies to
.
Lastly, we divide the entire problem by -1, and this flips the inequality sign.
This gives us
.
Now we take the square root of both sides to get our final answer:

Simplify the following inequality:
Tap to reveal answer
To simplify an inequality we want to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality sign. In order to accomplish this remember to do the reverse opperation to move numbers from one side to the other.

The reverse operation of subtraction is addition. Therefore to move the three from the left hand side to the right hand side we will need to add 3 on each side of the inequality to get
.
From here divide each side of the inequality by 3 to isolate the variable, and since 3>0 we get
