STEPS FOR WRITING INEQUALITIES:
1) Identify the numbers you are going to use from the problem.
2) Identify the operation needed to solve the problem.
3) Solve the problem (this will be your SOLUTION)
4) Start by writing your variable
5) Write the opposite operation of what you did to find the
solution. (see step two)
6) Fill in the numbers from the original problem and the inequality symbol.
The solution should NOT be part of your inequality.
Substitute the variable you use in step 4 for the solution
