Writing and Solving Inequalities from word problems.

This learning resource focuses on translating word problems into linear inequalities and solving them using algebraic methods. It begins by introducing inequality symbols and their meanings, followed by vocabulary related to inequalities such as 'inequality', 'constraint', 'solution set', and 'boundary'. The document provides a step-by-step approach to identify the direction of inequalities based on the language used in the problems. Through a worked example, it demonstrates how to set up and solve an inequality based on a real-world scenario. The resource also includes guided practice problems that encourage students to apply their understanding of inequalities in budgeting and time management contexts, ensuring they grasp how to represent and solve inequalities effectively.
