Solving One-step Inequalities

REMINDER: When asked to SOLVE an inequality, show your work on a piece of paper!

You will be asked to attach a picture of your work for full credit!

• YAY full credit!

• BOO full credit!

Solve the inequality, showing your work on your paper. Choose the solution below.

• x > 8

• x > 5

• x > 5

• x > 12

Which of the following shows the solution x > 5 graphed correctly?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

> reads as "greater than OR equal to," meaning we will use a CLOSED circle to represent 5 as a possible solution.

Solve the inequality, showing your work on your paper.

Type in the solution below.

(EXAMPLE: The solution of x - 5 < 7 would be x < 12).

Which of the following shows the solution x < 7 graphed correctly?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

< reads as "less than." This means our graph needs an OPEN CIRCLE and values shaded on the graph should be less than 7!

Solve the inequality, showing your work on your paper. Choose the solution below.

• x < 18

• x < 8

• x > 18

• x < 8

Which of the following shows the solution x < 8 graphed correctly?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

< reads as "less than or equal to," which means the graph will have a CLOSED circle since 8 is a possible solution!

Solve the inequality, showing your work on your paper.

Type in the solution below.

(EXAMPLE: The solution of 3x > 15 would be x > 5).

Which of the following shows the solution x > 4 graphed correctly?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

> reads as "greater than." This means our graph needs an OPEN CIRCLE and values shaded on the graph should be greater than 4!
