What is an inequality? How do you solve them?
DO NOW: Solve.
1) x + 19 = -9 2) -5x = -40
3) 4p – 6 = 2p
4. Write an equation for the following situation, then
solve.
During the 11th grade outdoor ed trip, we canoed a
total of 26 miles down the Colorado River. How many
miles did we canoe the first day if we did 14 the last
two days of our trip.

Is solving an inequality the same as
solving an equation?
Solve and Graph.
1. x + 7 > -8
YES, but there’s
one difference
2. 6x ≥ -54
3. x – 12 < -3

4. 10 

Hint: Pretend the < or >
is an = sign
Here’s the difference:
**When multiplying or dividing by a negative
to both sides, you must flip the < or > sign.

Translating Inequalities
< Less than
≤ Less than or equal to
> Greater than
≥ Greater than or equal to
≤ “at most”
≥ “at least”
Translate and graph on a number line:
1. A number is at least 8.
2. A number is less than -5.
Practice translating
1. A number plus 7 is greater than -8.
2. Six times a number is at least -54.
3. Five less than a number is less than 10.
4. The product of -3 and a number is at
most 24.
