Linear Inequalities Worksheet 1

Question 1- Solve the following linear inequalities and represent on a number line:

a) 2(2 − 2𝑣) > −10 + 3𝑣

5 3 1
b) 𝑣 − 4 < − 12 + 𝑣
3

c) 6𝑥 − 4𝑥 ≤ 12 − 𝑥

Question 2 – Evaluate the following:

a) 𝒚 is a prime number and also satisfies 7 < 2𝑦 − 3 ≤ 25

List the possible values of y.

b) 𝒛 is a factor of 24. Give the value of 𝑧 if 3 < 𝑧 < 6.

c) If 𝒙 is a member of the set of whole numbers, state the SMALLEST value of 𝑥

which satisfies the inequality: 12 ≤ 3𝑥 + 5.

d) Given that 𝑥 < 2 and 𝑥 ≥ 3, list the possible values of 𝒙 when:

(i) 𝑥 is an integer
(ii) 𝑥 is a natural number

e) The length, 𝐿, of a rectangle is 3cm more than twice its width, 𝑊. Determine
the relation between 𝐿 and 𝑊.

f) Find the integer 𝒙 so that 𝑥 + 1 < 7 < 𝑥 + 3. Bonus Question
