Linear Inequalities
Intro – Inequality Review

2. What are Inequalities?
• The symbols < , > , ≤ , ≥ are inequalities.
• < “Less than”
• > “greater than”
• ≤ “less than or equal to”
• ≥ “greater than or equal to”
• The small side points to the smaller #.
• The big side points to the bigger #.
• Ex: 2 < 6

3. Choosing Inequalities
• Place the correct inequality in the box
to create a true statement.
• 7
1
• -3
0
• -6
-9
• 2
-2

4. You Try!
•0
• -4
-2
-5

5. True or False?
• Tell whether each statement is true or
false:
•0 ≤ 5
• 0 > -5
• 2 > -1
•9 ≥ 4

6. •2 – 7 > 3
• 6 ≤ 2(3 + 1)
• 0 > -1 – 4
• 5 + 1 ≤ -4 – 2

7. You Try!
• True or False?
• -3 > -7
•6 – 9 ≥ 3
• 5 ≤ -6 + 2

8. More True or False?
• Tell whether the given value of the
variable makes a true statement:
• 15 – m ≥ 4
m = 11
• 2v > 24
v = 12
• 21 ≥ 7r
r=3

9. You Try!
• True or false?
• 16 – j > 3
j=3
• 10h ≤ 62
h=7
