Here is a new inequality:
11 ≥ 2x-5
1. Sketch the solutions to this inequality on the number
line. (If you're not sure how, check out slide 7 again!)
2. Enter the solutions below to help Shira eat all the
grass.

Answer 1

1.

- First, add 5 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable:

11 + 5 ≥ 2x - 5 + 5

16 ≥ 2x

- Next, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

16/2 ≥ 2x/2

8 ≥ x

- So the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 8/1, or x ≤ 8.

- To graph this on a number line, draw a closed circle at 8 and shade everything to the left of it.

2. x ≤ 8.
