Question

Question:
Solve each inequality and graph the solution on a number line. Part a: 4x is greater than 28. Part b: n divided by 3 is less than or equal to negative 5. Part c: 12 is less than 6t. Also explain why the inequality sign keeps the same direction when dividing by a positive number.

Solving One-Step Linear Inequalities

This lesson covers solving one-step linear inequalities by multiplying or dividing both sides by a positive number. Students learn why the inequality sign does not change direction when dividing by a positive number, and how to represent solutions on a number line using open and closed circles.

In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Solve one-step linear inequalities by dividing or multiplying both sides by a positive number
• Explain why the inequality sign stays the same when dividing by a positive number
• Represent the solution set of an inequality on a number l
