In this lesson…
We will write and graph linear inequalities
Sharon earns $8 an hour and a bonus of $24 each week.
Write an equation describing Sharon’s
weekly pay.

3 8(3) + 24 48
x 8x + 24 y
An equation to describe the total weekly earnings in terms of the number of
hours worked is…
y = 8x + 24
The amount Sharon needs to pay all of her bills must be less than
or equal to the amount she earns
An inequality to describe the amount Sharon needs
to earn to pay her bills is …
8 24y x

Paul claims he can run 4 miles a day. He has already
run 32 miles this month.
An equation describing the total number of miles that
Paul has run in terms of the days is y = 4x + 32
Paul’s coach insists he run more than 4 miles each day to prepare
to run in a marathon.
Write an inequality describing the total miles the
coach wants Paul to run.
The inequality shows the total miles,
y, is greater than 4x + 32
y > 4x + 32
Graph this inequality

The Student Council is purchasing T-shirts and
Posters to sell for a school fundraiser
Each T-Shirt costs $6 and each poster costs $2
The Student Council Sponsor says that they
must keep their spending below $120 for this
fundraiser
If T is the number of T-shirts, then 6T is the cost for all the T-Shirts
If P is the number of posters, then 2P is the cost for all the posters
Since they must spend less than $120, the inequality
for this problem is…
6T + 2P < 120
To graph this inequality, we can use T and P
intercepts
6T + 2P < 120

To graph this inequality, we can use T and P
