    e.g x + y > 3
    x < y

    then x + 2y > x + 3

    Please provide me with any good site.

    Hi pateljk, I don't have any good sites for inequalities, but trysomething like: http://www.quickmath.com/www02/pages...es/index.shtml or search for "math inequality examples" on search engines such as google or lycos.

    Regarding the question:

    x + y > 3
    x < y

    Add x to both sides: x + x + y > x + 3

    Adding "y" to "x + y" such as in "x + 2y > x + 3" would definitely make it bigger than "x + 3", since "x" (which is less than "y") added to "x + y" also does.

    x + y > 3
    => x + y + y > y + 3 ..... (1)

    again y > x
    so y + 3 > x + 3 .....(2)

    from (1) and (2)
    x+ 2y > x + 3
