Algebraic inequalities are mathematical statements that express a relationship between two algebraic expressions using inequality symbols such as <,>, ≤ or ≥.  Solving algebraic inequalities involves finding the range of values for the variable(s) that make the inequality true.  Consider the equation: 2x+3>7 On simplification x>2 To check whether the inequality is true or not, substitute any number greater than 2 for x and check whether the equation still stands. Take x=3 2x+3>7 6+3>7 9>7 is true. Hence, we can say that the inequality is true.
