In this lesson, you will write and solve inequalities to answer questions about a situation. You will also practice finding the solution set to an inequality by reasoning about its composition and parts.

When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:

• Analyze the structure of an inequality in one variable to help determine if the solution is greater or less than the solution to the related equation.
• Write and solve inequalities to answer questions about a situation.

Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
