2) You flip the sign when you MULTIPLY or DIVIDE left
both sides by a NEGATIVE.
Solve it:
3) When graphing on number line, CLOSE the circle
(dot) when it is also “equals to” (≤ or ≥).

Solve it:

2) What steps are NOT correct for solving the

following inequality?

6x – 6 ≥ 12 Graph it:

4) for each of the following inequalities, solve them 5) Galveston Bike Rentals charges $5 to rent a bike,
and then graph them. plus 10 cents for each minute that is out. Juan only
has $20.
2x + 3 < 11
Explain which one of the two inequalities could be
used to figure out up to how much time Juan can
rent a bike with his $20.

A) 5 + 0.10x ≤ 20
B) 5 + 0.10x ≥ 20

Explain:

7x – 9 ≤ -2

6) Match the following situations with the

appropriate equation:

2x – 6 ≥ 8

-3x + 6 ≤ 9
