Drills
Solving with the balance method while keeping the inequality sign, since the answer is a range, not a value.
Author note — to cover
Solve linear inequalities in one variable with positive coefficients, e.g. 3x + 2 < 11 and 5x − 1 ≥ 2x + 8, keeping the inequality sign through each balance step; present answers as ranges like x < 3. Negative-coefficient flips, number lines and integer lists are the sibling pages. Both tiers. (A22)
