Real-World Applications of Solving Inequalities
Saving for a New Phone
● Context: You want to buy a phone that costs at most $500. You already saved $200.
Inequality: 200 + x ≤ 500
Catching the School Bus
● Context: The bus arrives at 7:30 AM. You need at least 20 minutes to get ready.
Inequality: x ≥ 20
Gaming Screen Time Limit
● Context: Your parents allow no more than 3 hours of video games on weekends.
Inequality: x ≤ 3
Basketball Practice Requirement
● Context: Coach says you must shoot at least 50 free throws per day.

Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
You solve multi-step inequalities the same way you solve multi-step equations. Use
the inverse of the order of operations.
Remember to reverse (flip) the symbol if you multiply or divide by a negative
number.
