Solving Our goal is to have the variable on its own on the leftof the inequality sign. Like this…
How to Solve Solving inequalities is just like solving equations. One extra detail to pay attention to is the direction of the inequality. BIG small
Safe Things to Do These are things you can do without affecting the direction of the inequality. Add or subtract a number from both sides Multiply or divide both sides by a positive number Simplify a side
Changing Direction BUT these things will change the direction of the inequality. Multiply or divide both sides by a negativenumber Swapping left and right hand sides.
Changing Direction Changing direction means… would become would become would become would become
Solving Inequalities Get the variable on its own on the leftof the inequality sign. Graph the inequality on a number line. Open circle: and Closed circle: and Arrow pointing right: and Arrow pointing left: and
Examples Solve each inequality. Then graph the solution set on a number line.

Word Problems An adult panda bear (P) will eat at least 20 pounds of bamboo every day. Write an inequality that expresses this situation.
Word Problem On a Ferris wheel at a carnival, only two people per car are allowed. The two people together cannot weigh more than 300 pounds. Ron and his father want to go on the ride together. Ron’s father weighs 175 pounds. Write an inequality that expresses this situation. Draw a visual representation on a number line, and Solve the inequality to find the maximum weight Ron () can be for the two to be allowed on the ride?
Word Problem Rosa’s cell phone plan costs her $50 per month plus $0.25 for each minute she goes beyond her free minutes. How many minutes () can she go beyond her free minutes and still pay less than a total of $70? Write an inequality that expresses this situation. Draw a visual representation on a number line, and Solve the inequality.
Ticket Out The Door Write an absolute value equation that corresponds to… Draw a visual representation on a number line, and Solve the inequality. Tara is delivering bags of mulch. Each bag weighs 48 lbs., and the push cart weighs 65 pounds. If her flat-bed truck is capable of hauling 2000 lbs., how many bags of mulch () can Tara safely take on each trip?
