Form G
Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
Solve each inequality. Check your solutions.
1. 3f + 9 < 21
2. 4n 3 105
3. 33y 3 8
4. 2 + 2p > 17
5. 12 > 60 6r
6. 5 11 + 4j
Solve each inequality.
7. 2(k + 4) 3k 14
8. 3(4c 5) 2c > 0
9. 15(j 3) + 3j < 45
10. 22 5(2y + 3) 3y
11. 53 > 3(3z + 3) + 3z
12. 20(d 4) + 4d 8
13. x + 2 < 3x 6
14. 3v 12 > 5v + 10
Solve each inequality, if possible. If the inequality has no solution, write no
solution. If the solutions are all real numbers, write all real numbers.
15. 6w + 5 > 2(3w + 3)
16. 5r + 15 5(r 2)
17. 2(6 + s) < 16 + 2s
18. 9 2x < 7 + 2(x 3)
19. 2(n 3) 13 + 2n
20. 3(w + 3) < 9 3w

Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
21. A grandmother says her grandson is two years older than her granddaughter and that
together, they are at least 12 years old. How old are her grandson and granddaughter?
22. A family decides to rent a boat for the day while on vacation. The boats rental
rate is $500 for the first two hours and $50 for each additional half hour. Suppose
the family can spend $700 for the boat. What inequality represents the number of
hours for which they can rent the boat?
23. Writing Suppose a friend is having difficulty solving 1.75(q 5) > 3(q + 2.5).
Explain how to solve the inequality, showing all the necessary steps and identifying the
properties you would use.
24. Open-Ended Write two different inequalities that you can solve by adding 2 to
each side and then dividing each side by 12. Solve each inequality.
25. Reasoning a. Solve 3v 5 2v + 10 by gathering the variable terms on the
left side and the constant terms on the right side of the inequality.
b. Solve 3v 5 2v + 10 by gathering the constant terms on the left side
and the variable terms on the right side of the inequality.
c. Compare the results of parts (a) and (b).
d. Which method do you prefer? Explain.
