What It Can Solve

≤

Linear Inequalities

Solve 3x + 5 > 20, including flipping the sign when you divide by a negative.

x²

Quadratic Inequalities

Find where a parabola is above or below zero.

Compound and Absolute Value

Handle −3 < 2x + 1 ≤ 7 and |x − 2| < 3.

Worked Example: 5 − 2x < 11

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides: −2x < 6
  2. Divide both sides by −2 and flip the sign: x > −3
  3. Write the answer: x > −3, or (−3, ∞) in interval notation

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It is free and needs no sign-up.

Linear, quadratic, compound and absolute value inequalities in x.

Use <, >, <= and >=. You can also paste ≤ and ≥.

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the order of the numbers, so < becomes > and the other way round.

Fractions with x in the denominator and powers above 2 are not included yet.
