# Lesson 9

Solutions of Inequalities

### Problem 1

1. Select all numbers that are solutions to the inequality $$k > 5$$.

4

5

6

5.2

5.01

0.5

2. Draw a number line to represent this inequality.

### Problem 2

A sign on the road says: “Speed limit, 60 miles per hour.”

1. Let $$s$$ be the speed of a car. Write an inequality that matches the information on the sign.
2. Draw a number line to represent the solutions to the inequality.
3. Could 60 be a value of $$s$$? Explain your reasoning.

### Problem 3

One day in Boston, MA, the high temperature was 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and the low temperature was 52 degrees.

1. Write one or more inequalities to describe the temperatures $$T$$ that are between the high and low temperature on that day.
2. Show the possible temperatures on a number line.

### Problem 4

Select all the true statements.

A:

$$\text-5 < |\text-5|$$

B:

$$|\text-6| < \text-5$$

C:

$$|\text-6| < 3$$

D:

$$4 < |\text-7|$$

E:

$$|\text-7| < |\text-8|$$

### Solution
