How to solve word problems involving inequalities?

Solving inequalities involves finding the range of values for a variable that makes the inequality true. The steps for solving inequalities are similar to those for solving equations, but with the rule of flipping the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

Key Steps to Solve Word Problems Involving Inequalities:

Read the Problem Carefully: Understand what is being asked and identify the relevant information.
Identify Variables and Constants: Determine what quantities are unknown (variables) and what quantities are given (constants).
Translate the Problem into an Inequality: Use the given information to set up an inequality.
Solve the Inequality: Perform the necessary algebraic operations to isolate the variable and find the solution.
Interpret the Solution: Relate the solution back to the context of the problem.
Check Your Solution: Verify that the solution makes sense in the context of the problem.
