Hey, handsome and strong boy of mine!

I couldn't think of a clever title.  So, I picked Whovian as a theme.

OK.

Pre-Algebra:

Section 3.8 also deals with solving linear inequalities but the problems are stated in word form for the students to determine how to set up the problem. I have STRONGLY encouraged the class to write down the information that they know from the problem as well as what they need to know to help them when working on these types of problems. Most of the time, the "need to know info" is what they will need to represent with a variable when setting up the problem. 

A couple of important things to remember about these two sections:

-when graphing the solution set for a linear inequality, an open circle is to be placed on the number line if the problem is a greater than, less than, or not equal to problem; a solid dot is used on the number line if it is a greater than or equal to OR less than or equal to problem

-when solving linear inequalities, if you have to multiply or divide using a negative number, remember to flip your inequality symbols
