One-Variable Equations and Inequalities Practice

The video tutorial covers the sixth-grade concept of one-step, one-variable equations and inequalities, focusing on how to write and solve them. Using a problem from the 2016 released STAAR test, the tutorial guides students through solving an inequality involving a budget constraint. Mr. Smith wants to spend a maximum of $50, with a $7 ticket cost, and the tutorial demonstrates how to determine the possible values for additional spending. The solution involves setting up and solving the inequality, ensuring the total does not exceed $50.

What does the inequality p + 7 ≤ 50 represent?

• Mr. Smith can spend exactly $50

• Mr. Smith can spend less than $50

• Mr. Smith can spend more than $50

• Mr. Smith can spend less than or equal to $50

Why is the option p + 7 > 50 incorrect?

• It does not include the cost of the ticket

• It allows spending more than $50

• It allows spending exactly $50

• It allows spending less than $50

What is the correct inequality for Mr. Smith's spending?

• p + 7 ≥ 50

• p + 7 > 50

• p + 7 < 50

• p + 7 ≤ 50
