An inequality is used to show that one expression may not be equal to another.

Solving simple linear inequalities

Maths

In this unit, pupils will learn how to extend their understanding of solving equations and extend this to consider inequalities. Pupils will consider a variety of inequalities and ways that their solutions can be represented.

Inequalities

The solution to the inequality $$3a-2 \ge 4$$ is when $$a \ge$$ {{}}.

Which of these satisfies the inequality $$2b+3 < 5$$ ?

Which of these shows all solutions to the inequality $${a\over 3} + 4 \le 7$$ ?

Which of these represents all solutions to the inequality $$8<4(x-3)$$ ?

If $$-x<-4$$ which of the following is an equivalent inequality? 

Which of these shows all solutions to the inequality $$5-3x<8$$ ? 

Which of these values satisfy the inequality $$x \ge -3$$ ?

Which of these diagrams could represent the inequality $$a>3$$ ?

The solution to the equation $$3x-5=7$$ is when $$x=$${{}}.
