Task goals
- Foundation: Solve one- and two-step linear inequalities with positive coefficients and represent the solution set on a number line.
- Proficient: Solve multi-step linear inequalities involving negative coefficients, correctly reversing the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
- Excellence: Solve compound (double-sided) linear inequalities and apply inequality solving to worded, real-world contexts, interpreting the solution appropriately.
