II. Write an inequality for each problem, then solve.
The 5 step problem solving process still applies in solving word problems with
inequalities with one exception:

Step 1: Read the problem carefully.


Step 2: Define your variables.
Step 3: SET UP THE INEQUALITY.
Step 4: Solve the inequality.
Step 5: Answer the question.
