Algebraic Inequalities Exploration

Choose the best answer where options are given. For written questions, show your working and use the number lines to represent your solutions.

Symbols and meaning

Read each inequality carefully. Pay attention to whether the boundary value is included.

1.A swimming pool is open to children aged 12 and over. If a child's age is a years, which inequality describes the age rule?
  • a > 12
  • a ≥ 12
  • a < 12
  • a ≤ 12
2.Max has fewer than 9 trading cards. If c is the number of cards, which inequality represents this?
  • c > 9
  • c ≥ 9
  • c < 9
  • c = 9
3.Solve the inequality x + 5 < 11. Which answer is correct?
  • x < 6
  • x > 6
  • x ≤ 6
  • x = 6
4.Select every inequality that means a value is at most 8.
  • x ≤ 8
  • x < 8
  • x = 8
  • x ≥ 8

Write, solve and represent

Use inverse operations to solve. For each number-line diagram, mark the endpoint and show which values are solutions.

5.A local sports club requires members to be older than 14 years. Let a represent a member's age. Write an inequality for the rule.
