Rewriting One-Step Inequalities
Rewrite each sentence as an inequality in algebraic form.

examples:

20 multiplied by y is greater than or equal to 40. 20y ≥ 40

The sum of 92 and z is less than 100. 90 + z < 100

1. The difference when you subtract

60 from a is less than 7. a - 60 < 7

2. The sum of 15 and p is greater than

or equal to 30. 15 + p ≥ 30

3. 24 less than z is less than 12. z - 24 < 12

4. 120 divided by h is 12 or less. 120 / h ≤ 12

5. 500 minus r is 300 or less. 500 - r ≤ 300

6. The product of 3 and x is 50 or more. 3x ≥ 50

7. f minus 8 is less than 2. f-8<2

8. y over 50 is 4 or more. y / 50 ≥ 4
