Lesson Objective





Do Now

























By the end of the lesson, we will be able to ____________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________
(AZ-7.EE.B.4b) Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers.
Review of Mondays Ideas

Solve and graph each of the inequalities. Below that, answer and justify the questions.

1. 2x > -50






2. -4x 12






3. When you solve, would you (keep/flip) the sign in the inequality shown here:

8x > -40
Why?

4. When you solve, would you (keep/flip) the sign in the inequality shown here:

-9x 18
Why?

Thought Process: Solving Two-Step Inequalities

I see a positive coefficient, so when I solve for I see a positive coefficient, so when I solve for the
the variable, I keep the sign the same. variable, I keep the sign the same.

3x + 1 13 7x 2 < -37











I see a negative coefficient, so when I solve for I see a negative coefficient, so when I solve for
the variable, I flip the sign around. the variable, I flip the sign around.

-8x 6 > 16 -2x + 9 -11











I see a negative coefficient, so when I solve for I see a positive coefficient, so when I solve for
the variable, I flip the sign around. the variable, I keep the sign the same.

Writing Equations

Next door at Heard, the principal also
keeps track of attendance. At the
beginning of the year in 2013 there were
460 students, and 4 students left each
day. Write an equation to find the total
attendance, a, of students after d days.

Writing Equations

At the beginning of the year in 2014 there are 482
students at Heard, and 3 students leave each day. Write an
equation to find the total attendance, a, of students after d
days. If their principal counts the number of students and
sees that there are 455, how many days have passed?
