Inequalities-Homework Ver 2

This document provides instructions on how to solve inequalities and represent the solutions on a number line. It explains that solving inequalities is similar to solving equations, and works through an example of solving the inequality 4x - 1 ≥ 11. The document then provides 5 inequality problems for the student to solve and graph the solutions on a number line.

Inequalities – Homework

Less than Greater than


Less than Greater than or or Not equal to
Equal to Equal to

< > ≤
Solving an inequality is just like solving an equation:
≥ ≠
For example: Solve 4x − 1 ≥ 11

Start by adding 1 to both sides to give 4x ≥ 12


Then divide by 4 to get x ≥ 3
To represent this on a number line, we draw a solid dot above the 3 to show that it is greater than
or equal to 3. Use an empty dot to show greater than or less than.

Your Turn
Solve each inequality and represent your answer on a number line.

a. 2x + 5 > 9 d. -4 ≤ 2x < 12

 

 

b. 8x − 3 ≤ 21 e. 2 < 3x − 1 ≤ 14

 

 

c. 2(x + 5) < 7
