CCSS Description: Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.
Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
This worksheet is designed to give the practice on solving linear inequalities and displaying the solution on a number line. Section A acts as a warmup activity, where learners just need to display the given inequality on a number line provided. Section B then gives a selection of increasingly difficult linear inequalities to solve and display.
