In this section, we will focus on linear inequalities and how to solve them. We will also look at some examples and their answers to better understand the concepts.
Linear Inequalities Worksheet
To begin, let's define linear inequalities and understand the rules for solving them.
Linear Inequalities Rules
Linear inequalities are mathematical statements that compare two expressions using the symbols < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), or ≥ (greater than or equal to). When solving linear inequalities, we follow similar rules as solving linear equations, with one crucial difference - the direction of the inequality sign may flip under certain conditions.
Let's take an example:
-2(x+4) + 9 < - 11
By following the rules and solving step by step, we can find the value of x that satisfies the given inequality.
Graphing Linear Inequalities
After solving for the variable, graphing the linear inequalities helps us visually understand the solution and its implications. When plotting the graph, pay attention to the "or's and and's" to accurately represent the solutions.
Solving Absolute Value Equations
Moving on to absolute value equations, these equations involve the absolute value of an expression. We will go through some examples and answers to understand how to solve absolute value equations.

The process of solving absolute value equations involves isolating the absolute value expression and then applying the rules to find the solutions.
Direct Variation Examples
Direct variation is a concept in algebra where two variables are related in such a way that when one variable increases, the other also increases. We will explore direct variation examples and understand the formula and its implications.
Direct Variation Formula
The direct variation formula, often denoted as y = kx, shows the relationship between the two variables, where k represents the constant of variation. We will delve into some examples with solutions to comprehend this concept better.
With these concepts and examples, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of linear inequalities, absolute value equations, and direct variation. Practice problems and worksheets are also available to solidify the understanding of these concepts. Happy learning!
