Task 3b: PROBLEM SOLVING AND REASONING
Represent the following inequalities on a number line
1) x >2 ×3 2) x ≤ 5−8
3) x <24 ÷ 8 4) x ≥ 18 ÷( 4+2)
5) 5 ≤ x 6) −2> x
7) 4 ≤ x 8) −5 ≥ x
9) −1> x 10) 3< x
11) Using the number line below, a number x can take the possible integer values -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 …
a) There are two ways these as inequalities. Write them below.
b) Illustrate these inequalities on the two number lines below.
12) Which values does x represent when the two inequalities are
x >−4 and x ≤ 5
