3-4 Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
Solve each inequality. Check your solutions. The first step is started for you.
1. 3m + 12 < 24 2. 4w – 3 ≥ 33
3m + 12 □ 12 < 24 □ 12 4w – 3 □ 3 ≥ 33 □ 3
3. –2 + 2p ≤ –14 4. 12 > 60 – 6t
–2 □ 2 + 2p ≤ –14 □ 2 12 □ 60 > 60 □ 60 – 6t
11. A grandmother devises an inequality to help her remember the ages of her two
grandchildren. She knows her grandson is two years older than her
granddaughter and that together, they are at least 12 years old. What are the
youngest that her grandson and granddaughter could be?
Let a be the age of the granddaughter. Let a + be the age of the grandson.
12. A family decides to rent a boat for the day. The boat’s rental rate is $500 for
the first two hours and $50 for each additional half hour. Suppose the family
budgeted $700 to rent the boat. What is the maximum number of additional
half hours for which they can rent the boat?
Let t = the additional time in half hours.
t + $500 $700
13. Suppose a friend is having difficulty solving –2(q – 5) > –3(q + 1). Explain
