Solve a two-step inequality

Example: 4y +10 < 18 original inequality

4y + 10 – 10 < 18 – 10 subtract 10 from both sides

4y < 8 simplify

4y 8
< divide each side by 4
4 4
y<2 simplify

Solve a €
two-step inequality
Example: –3x + 10 < 31 original inequality

–3x + 10 – 10 < 31 – 10 subtract 10 from both sides

–3x < 21 simplify

€3x 21
> divide each side by –3 and reverse the inequality symbol
−3 −3
x > –7 simplify

€
Remember:
 goes with < and >
 goes with < and >

Solve the inequality. Then graph the solution.

1. 4y + 6 < 38 2. –2p + 4 > 14

3. 3n – 6 > 18 4. –2x + 1 < 15

 Solve the inequality or equation.

y
5. 7a + 5 > 40 6. + 8 = 11 7. 6x + 32 = 50
6

8. 4x – 6 = 42 9. 9x – 12 = 24 10. –7x – 6 = 8

x
11. −5 = 4 12. –3x + 5 > –16 13. –5x + 14 = –21
8

14. What is the solution set to the inequality 7z + 5 > 47? 14. ______

A {z : z < 5} B {z: z > 6} C {z : z < 6} D {z : z > 24}

15. What value of x satisfies the equation 3x + 6 = 24? 15. ______

A 10.0 B 5.0 C 6.0 D 7.5

16. A group order 6 meals that cost x dollars each and leaves a $14 tip. 16. ______
The group spends a total of $86. If the equation shows the relationship,
how much did each person pay before the tip?
6x + 16 = 88

A $72 B $104 C $16 D $12
