   If these 2 equations are equivalent:
   
   x > 2y+1 and (x-1)/2 < y,
   
   what is the equivalent equation for:
   
   x [itex]\geq[/itex] 2y+1 ?

   Re: Inequalities
   
   I think your first 2 equivalencies are wrong.... x > 2y+1 should be equal to (x-1)/2 > y
   
   and I believe there should be a similar result for your second equation

   Re: Inequalities
   
   xeon123 and repliers,
   
   those are not "equations."
   
   Please use the correct term(s).
   
   They are inequations or inequalities.
