ObjectiveThe student will be able to: • graph inequalities on a number line. • solve inequalities using addition and subtraction. Designed by Skip Tyler, Varina High School
o 1) Graph the solution set ofx < 3. When you have < or >, use an open dot!
• 2) Graph the solution set ofy ≥ -5/4. When you have ≤ or ≥, use a closed dot! Converting -5/4 to a decimal = -1.25
o 3) Graph the solution set ofp ≠ 2. When you have ≠, use an open dot and shade both ways!
Answer Now 4) Which inequality would have a closed dot on the number line? • > • < • ≥ • ≠
Answer Now 5) Which inequality does NOT use an open dot on the number line? • ≤ • < • > • ≠
o 29 30 31 6) Solve x + (-14) < 16 • Solve this problem like an equation • Draw “the river” • Eliminate double signs • Add 14 to both sides • Simplify • Check your answer • Graph the solution x- 14< 16 + 14 + 14 x < 30 30 + (-14) = 16 16 = 16
● -15 -14 -13 7) Solve y + 21 ≥ 7 • Draw the “river” • Subtract 21 from both sides • Simplify • Check your answer • Graph the solution - 21 -21 y ≥ -14 (-14) + 21 = 7 7 = 7

o -5 -4 -3 o -5 -4 -3 ● -5 -4 -3 -5 -4 -3 Answer Now 1) Which graph represents the correct answer to > 1 ●
o -53 -52 -51 1) Solve > 13 • Draw “the river” • Clear the fraction - Multiply both sides by -4 • NEW STEP!! When multiplying BOTH sides by a NEGATIVE number, SWITCH the inequality! • Simplify • Check your answer • Graph the solution k < -52
Answer Now 2) When solving > -10will the inequality switch? • Yes! • No! • I still don’t know!
o -31 -30 -29 • Draw “the river” • Clear the fraction - Multiply both sides by 3. Do you switch the inequality? • No - Both sides are being multiplied by a positive number • Simplify • Check your answer • Graph the solution 2) Solve < -10 x < -30
Answer Now 3) When solving will the inequality switch? • Yes! • No! • I still don’t know!
o -25 -24 -23 3) Solve • Draw “the river” • Clear the fraction - Multiply both sides by -4. Do you switch the inequality? • Yes - Both sides are being multiplied by a negative number • Simplify • Check your answer • Graph the solution a > -24
Take a quick break! Things that make you go.....Hmmm Why is abbreviation such a long word? Why do they have braille dots on the ATM machines in drive-thru’s?
Answer Now 4) Solve -8p ≥ -96 • p ≥ 12 • p ≥ -12 • p ≤ 12 • p ≤ -12
● 11 12 13 4) Solve -8p ≥ -96 • Draw “the river” • Divide both sides by -8. Do you switch the inequality? • Yes - Both sides are being divided by a negative number • Simplify • Check your answer • Graph the solution p ≤ 12 -8(12) = -96
o -16 -15 -14 o -16 -15 -14 ● -16 -15 -14 -15 -15 -14 Answer Now 5) Solve 7v < -105 ●
