7. Solve the inequality on your own. 1.x + 3 > -4 2.6d > 24 3.2x - 8 < 14 4.-2c – 4 < 2 x > -7 d ≥ 4 x < 11 c ≥ -3

9. Any time you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a NEGATIVE, you must REVERSE THE SIGN!!!! TRY SOLVING THIS:

10. The solution would look like this:

11. SOLVE THIS:

15. Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. y ≤ 4y + 18 –y 0 ≤ 3y + 18 –18 – 18 –18 ≤ 3y To collect the variable terms on one side, subtract y from both sides. Since 18 is added to 3y, subtract 18 from both sides to undo the addition. Since y is multiplied by 3, divide both sides by 3 to undo the multiplication. y  –6

16. 4m – 3 < 2m + 6 To collect the variable terms on one side, subtract 2m from both sides. –2m – 2m 2m – 3 < + 6 Since 3 is subtracted from 2m, add 3 to both sides to undo the subtraction. + 3 2m < 9 Since m is multiplied by 2, divide both sides by 2 to undo the multiplication. Solve the inequality and graph the solutions.

17. Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. Check your answer. 4x ≥ 7x + 6 –7x –3x ≥ 6 x ≤ –2 To collect the variable terms on one side, subtract 7x from both sides. Since x is multiplied by –3, divide both sides by –3 to undo the multiplication. Change ≥ to ≤. –10 –8 –6–4 –2 0246810 The solution set is {x:x ≤ –2}.

18. Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. Check your answer. 5t + 1 < –2t – 6 +2t +2t 7t + 1 < –6 – 1 < –1 7t < –7 7 t < –1 –5 –4 –3–2 –1 01234 5 To collect the variable terms on one side, add 2t to both sides. Since 1 is added to 7t, subtract 1 from both sides to undo the addition. Since t is multiplied by 7, divide both sides by 7 to undo the multiplication. The solution set is {t:t < –1}.

19. Solve the inequality and graph the solutions. 2(k – 3) > 6 + 3k – 3 2(k – 3) > 3 + 3k Distribute 2 on the left side of the inequality. 2k – 6 > 3 + 3k –2k – 2k –6 > 3 + k To collect the variable terms, subtract 2k from both sides. –3 –9 > k Since 3 is added to k, subtract 3 from both sides to undo the addition. k < -9

38. Day 3

39. Solve: by ELIMINATION x + y = 12 -x + 3y = -8 We need to eliminate (get rid of) a variable. The x’s will be the easiest. So, we will add the two equations. 4y = 4 Divide by 4 y = 1 Like variables must be lined under each other. Then plug in the one value to find the other: ANSWER: (11, 1)

40. x + y =12 11 + 1 = 12 12 = 12 -x + 3y = -8 -11 + 3(1) = -8 -11 + 3 = -8 -8 = -8

41. Solve: by ELIMINATION 5x - 4y = -21 -2x + 4y = 18 We need to eliminate (get rid of) a variable. The y’s be will the easiest.So, we will add the two equations. 3x = -3 Divide by 3 x = - 1 Like variables must be lined under each other. Then plug in the one value to find the other: ANSWER: (-1, 4)

42. 5x - 4y = -21 5(-1) – 4(4) = -21 -5 - 16 = -21 -21 = -21 -2x + 4y = 18 -2(-1) + 4(4) = 18 2 + 16 = 18 18 = 18

43. Solve: by ELIMINATION 2x + 7y = 31 5x - 7y = - 45 We need to eliminate (get rid of) a variable. The y’s will be the easiest. So, we will add the two equations. 7x = -14 Divide by 7 x = -2 Like variables must be lined under each other. Then plug in the one value to find the other: ANSWER: (-2, 5)

44. 2x + 7y = 31 2(-2) + 7(5) = 31 -4 + 35 = 31 31 = 31 5x – 7y = - 45 5(-2) - 7(5) = - 45 -10 - 35 = - 45 - 45 =- 45

45. Solve: by ELIMINATION x + y = 30 x + 7y = 6 We need to eliminate (get rid of) a variable. To simply add this time will not eliminate a variable. If one of the x’s was negative, it would be eliminated when we add. So we will multiply one equation by a – 1. Like variables must be lined under each other.

46. x + y = 30 x + 7y = 6() x + y = 30 -x – 7y = -6 Now add the two equations and solve. -6y = 24 -6 y = - 4 Then plug in the one value to find the other: ANSWER: (34, -4)

47. x + y = 30 34 + - 4 = 30 30 = 30 x + 7y = 6 34 + 7(- 4) = 6 34 - 28 = 6 6 = 6

48. Solve: by ELIMINATION x + y = 4 2x + 3y = 9 We need to eliminate (get rid of) a variable. To simply add this time will not eliminate a variable. If there was a –2x in the 1 st equation, the x’s would be eliminated when we add. So we will multiply the 1st equation by a – 2. Like variables must be lined under each other.

49. x + y = 4 2x + 3y = 9 -2x – 2y = - 8 2x + 3y = 9 Now add the two equations and solve. y = 1 () -2 Then plug in the one value to find the other: ANSWER: (3, 1)

50. x + y = 4 3 + 1 = 4 4 = 4 2x + 3y = 9 2(3) + 3(1) = 9 6 + 3 = 9 9 = 9
