Objective: To solve multi-step inequalities

1. Lesson: 2.4 Objective: To solve multi-step inequalities Example #1: solving multi-step inequalities 2x − 4 ≥ 8 Add 4 to both sides. Essential Question: How do I solve multi-step inequality? + 4 +4 2x ≥ 12 Divide both sides by 2. 2 2 x ≥ 6 Solution Set Check: 2( 6 ) - 4 ≥ 8 8 ≥ 8

2. Example: solving an inequality with variables on both sides Subtract 2x from both sides. – 2x – 2x 6x − 5 < 2x + 11 4x − 5 < 11 Add 5 to both sides + 5 + 5 4x < 16 Divide both sides by 4 4 4 Solutions set: all real numbers less than 4 x < 4 Check: 6(3) − 5 < 2(3) + 11 18 − 5 < 6 + 11 13 < 17 ✓Checks

3. Example #2: Distribute the 8 on the left and 12 on the right of the inequality 24g – 16 ≤ 24g + 12 Subtract 24gfrom both sides. – 24g – 24g −16 ≤ 12 Solution set is the set of all real numbers. This type of inequality is also called an….? Identity

4. Example #3: 2(-4s + 2) ≥ -5s − 10 Distribute the 2 on the left side of the inequality -8s + 4 ≥ -5s − 10 Add 5s to both sides. +5s +5s −3s + 4 ≥ −10 Minus 4 from both sides. −4 −4 −3s ≥ −14 Divide both sides by −3 −3 −3 (Remember to switch the direction of the inequality) 14 s ≤ 3 Solution Set

The coming test is worth 100 points. Your grade will be based on a total possible points of 175. What would you have to get on the test to get at least a “C” in the class? Test Possible 70% Total points ≥ + Score Score Points 50 +x ≥ 175 * .70 Complete multiplication 50 + x ≥ 175 * .70 50 + x ≥ 122.5 Minus 50 from both sides x ≥ 72.5
