Study Notes
Solving Equations and Inequalities
-
Students are asked to solve for the value of x in equations and inequalities.
-
Equations and inequalities are represented in various ways, including models, number lines, verbal descriptions, and algebraic expressions.
-
Students must understand the concepts of greater than, less than, greater than or equal to and less than or equal to in order to solve inequalities.
-
Students must be able to use inverse operations to solve for the value of x.
-
Students must recognize when a given answer is a solution to the given equation or inequality.
Word Problems
- Students must interpret and translate word problems into equations or inequalities and then solve for the unknown variable.
- Students should be prepared to solve real-world problems involving:
- Distance
- Money
- Time
- Rates
- Discounts
Important Concepts
- The solution set of an inequality is the set of all values that make the inequality true
- To solve an inequality, use inverse operations to isolate the variable. When multiplying or dividing both sides of the inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign must be reversed to maintain the truth of the inequality.
- The solution set of an inequality can be represented on a number line
- The solution set of an equation can be represented as one solution.
- An equation is a statement that two expressions, expressions, are equal to each other, whereas an inequality states that two expressions are not equal to each other.
Practice
- Practice solving one-step and two-step equations and inequalities.
- Pay attention to the direction of the inequality sign and how to correctly solve inequalities when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
- Practice writing equations and inequalities from word problems and then solving them
- Practice representing solutions on a number line
- Identify the solution set for a provided inequality
