Topic: Symbols of Inequality (Part 2)
Example:
State whether the statement below is true.
5 + 4 > 7
Step 1: simplify the inequality when necessary.

Step 3: if the symbol points to the smaller number, the statement is true. If the symbol points to
the larger number the statement is false.
5 + 4 > 7 true

Topic: Inequations (Part 1)
Example:
State whether the statement below is true or false for each given value of 𝑥
5𝑥 + 4 > 7
(a) 𝑥 = 0
Step 1: substitute the value of x in the inequation.
5𝑥 + 4 > 7
5(0) + 4 > 7
Step 2: simplify the new inequality.

Topic: Inequations (Part 2)
Example:
Construct a suitable inequation to represent the statement below.
The length of a rectangle is x cm and the width is 3 cm. The area of the rectangle is less than 15
cm2.
Step 1: look for key words that imply which inequality to use.
The length of a rectangle is 𝑥 cm and the width is 3 cm. The area of the rectangle is less than 15
cm2
The words “less than” tell us to use this symbol “<”.
Step 2: look for key words that imply which operation/s to use.
The length of a rectangle is 𝑥 𝑐𝑚 and the width is 3 cm. The area of the rectangle is less than
15 cm2
The words “area of rectangle” implies that we must multiply the length and the width.
Step 3: construct the inequation using information obtained
Area of rectangle is less than 15 cm2 , Area of rectangle = length × width
length × width < 15 cm2
𝑥 𝑐𝑚 × 3 𝑐𝑚 < 15 𝑐𝑚2
3𝑥 𝑐𝑚2 < 15 𝑐𝑚2
1. Anna had $10. After spending $x on snacks, she had less than $5 left.
2. When a whole number, 𝑥 is subtracted from 20, the result is less than 15.
3. The length of a rectangle is y cm and the width is 9 cm. The perimeter must not exceed
50 cm

Example
Convert 5.2 km to meters.
Step 1: determine whether you are converting from a large unit to a smaller unit or from a small
unit to a larger unit.
Kilometers (km) to meters (m) is largest to smallest.
Step 2: count the number of spaces it takes to reach from kilometers (km) to meters (m).
The table above shows that it takes 3 spaces to reach from km to m
Step 3: because you are converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, multiply 10 by itself 3
times to get how much 1 km is equivalent to in meters
1 km = (10 × 10 × 10) m
1 km = 1000 m
Step 4: multiply 5.2 by 1000 to convert 5.2 km to meters
1 km = 1000 m
5.2 km = 5.2 × 1000m
Shift the decimal point 3 places to the right
