1. Rearrange the following to determine allowed values for y:
    1. $$ 2y + 3 < 10 $$
    2. $$ -3y -5 > 6 $$
  2. Rearrange to find allowed values for y in terms of x:
    1. $$ 2y + 3x < 10 $$
    2. $$ -3y - 5x + 7 > 2 $$
  3. Sketch graphs of the two inequalities given in #2, and shade in the region of the plane that is permitted by the inequality.
  4. Translate the inequalities in #2 into a word problem (ie, make up a story about what x and y stand for, and explain what "real world" conditions lead to those inequalities.

Solutions:

    1. $$ y < \frac{7}{2}$$
    2. $$ y < \frac{-11}{3} $$
    1. $$ y < 5 - \frac{3}{2}x $$
    2. $$ y < \frac{5}{3} - \frac{5}{3}x $$
