- Rearrange the following to determine allowed values for y:
- $$ 2y + 3 < 10 $$
- $$ -3y -5 > 6 $$
- Rearrange to find allowed values for y in terms of x:
- $$ 2y + 3x < 10 $$
- $$ -3y - 5x + 7 > 2 $$
- Sketch graphs of the two inequalities given in #2, and shade in the region of the plane that is permitted by the inequality.
- 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:
- $$ y < \frac{7}{2}$$
- $$ y < \frac{-11}{3} $$
- $$ y < 5 - \frac{3}{2}x $$
- $$ y < \frac{5}{3} - \frac{5}{3}x $$
