As you already know, inequalities have more than one answer. You can't write down every single number that can be substituted for the variable, but you can graph the values to show the same. To start graphing, you will need a number line. Here's how to graph inequalities. Make sure to simplify each inequality before graphing! First, you need to identify the sign. The ">" and "<" signs are shown with an empty dot, and the "≥" and "≤" signs are shown with a colored dot. The dot goes on top of the value provided in the inequality (such as in "n > 6", an empty dot would go over 6). Next, to show the type of inequality (greater than, less than, etc.), you will add a line with an arrowhead at the end of it depending on the sign. For the ">" and "≥" signs, the line goes to the right. For the "<" and "≤", the line goes to the left. For example, in "n > 6", there would be a line going to the right from the empty dot. Remember, you can only graph properly when your isolated variables are on the left side of the inequality.

An example of this is "-5n ≤ 25", which can be simplified to "n ≥ -5". For this example, since the sign is a "≥", there will be a shaded dot on -5. Since "n" is greater than or equal to -5, the arrow will be pointing towards the left.  Another example is "2j - 10 < -4". If you simplify this, you will get "j < 3". Since "j" is less than 3, there will be an empty dot over 3 pointing to the left. The answers to both of these inequalities can be any number in the number line which has the arrow on top of it because the arrow signifies the possible answers.
