Forming and Solving Linear Inequalities WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Learners are required to form and solve 12 inequalities across various scenarios throughout this worksheet.
The problems in Section A require students to form and solve linear inequalities from various geometric contexts, including the perimeter of a rectangle, the angles in a diagram, and the perimeter of a triangle and a pentagon.
Section B presents a series of word problems where students must form and solve inequalities to find a range of possible values.
Finally, Section C includes more complex word problems, such as determining the maximum age or number of items, where students must use inequalities to find a solution.
