Key facts behind this grade 7 inequalities test

Key facts
  • Solve \(px + q > r\) with the same steps as an equation.
  • Reverse the symbol when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.
  • Use an open circle for \(<\) and \(>\), and a closed circle for \(\le\) and \(\ge\).
  • Shade the side of the number line that contains the solutions.
  • Interpret the solution set in the context of the problem.
